The Elite Corps de Ballet of Long Island - a non-for-profit ballet company that was established by Artistic Director, Susan Nachtrab, in the Summer of 2008, in hopes of creating strong connections with local dance schools and students through the presentation of an annual ballet performance of “The Nutcracker”. It has been in recent years the Mrs. Nachtrab has felt a longing to branch out to the community and to other local dance schools in order to form a bond, whereas dance students from the local community, regardless of their primary source of dance instruction, may be able to grow as young artists, performers and students while gaining a sense of incomparable professionalism.
Members of The ECB:
Below is the schedule for the tenth week of Nutcracker rehearsals. If you think we may have made a mistake in schedule or you see a problem, please contact us right away. Please understand that we have to make difficult decisions when making the schedule so that we may accommodate the majority of cast members.
I know that many of you are eager for the release of the final in-studio rehearsal schedules for December 27th & December 28th. However, it is important for us to evaluate this weekend's rehearsal so we may know how to best facilitate everyone's valuable holiday. If you have any hard conflicts, please remind us of those even if previously submitted!
December 27th stage rehearsal will be from 5:00pm - 10:00pm. An exact schedule will be released with our final in-studio schedule. Please note that stage rehearsal will run so that our younger cast members may leave earlier.
Tickets are now on sale for our performance! Tickets are $25 thru December 22nd. Tickets purchased after December 22nd are $30.
Apparel orders have been placed. A select few extra T-shirts and hoodies have been ordered, please contact Miss Susan to see what may be available.
