FAQ

Who can participate in your ballet?

Our program is open to any dancer above the age of five. We hold open auditions and place dancers in age appropriate roles based on their skill level.  A typical production includes dancers that train at over a dozen area studios, from Grass Valley to Sacramento.

Where and when do you rehearse?

Except for a few special rehearsals, we rehearse only on the weekends.  All of our rehearsals are held at 201 Harding Blvd in Roseville.

How can I volunteer?

As an all volunteer organization, we rely heavily on the hard work and generosity of our volunteers. We simply couldn’t produce the high-caliber ballets that we do without our volunteers sewing, cleaning, working on tech crew, selling merchandise and many other tasks. If you would like to volunteer, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at info@placertheatreballet.org.
