2025 YDP Spring Repertory Concert Audition Form

Should my dancer be accepted into the 2025 Repertory Concert, upon accepting participation and submitting the participation fee, I hereby ensure and understand that:

• The participation fee ($150) is due at the time of the first rehearsal.

• Should the dancer, for whatever reason, be unable to participate, withdraw from the production, be dismissed with cause, or be absent from the production, payment will not be refunded.

• All casting decisions are final, however we reserve the right to reassign a role in the event a dancer’s availability changes subsequent to today’s date or at the discretion of the artistic staff.

• I am required to provide basic costume pieces such as a leotard, tights, and ballet slippers.

• Ballet training and the exercises associated with it can place stresses on the body and can risk physical injury. On behalf of my dancer and myself, I assume this risk and agree that José Mateo Ballet Theatre will not be liable in any way for injuries sustained during participation in the production or related activities.

• I grant José Mateo Ballet Theatre the right to make and use photographic and audiovisual documentation of my dancer to be used for philanthropic, promotional, and other mission related purposes. In no case will the dancer’s identity be disclosed without written parent/guardian consent.

• The primary method of communication from José Mateo Ballet Theatre is email through Constant Contact or Gmail in order to send announcements and information.

José Mateo Ballet Theatre Spring Repertory Concert cast members must:

• Comply with all rules and regulations of José Mateo Ballet Theatre including, but not limited to, dress code, punctuality, and rehearsal/performance etiquette.

• Attend and be on time to all scheduled rehearsals and performances. In the event that an emergency arises, I will make every effort to contact the JMBT office.

I also understand that missing a rehearsal and/or performance constitutes a valid reason for removing my child from the 2025 Spring Repertory Concert Program.

Failure to comply with these policies may affect a dancer’s eligibility for performance opportunities and financial aid. We understand that some circumstances may make these policies difficult. We ask that you communicate honestly with us about any challenges that may prevent your dancer from participating fully in the production. We will do our very best to work with you to help your dancer to get the most out of the production, and we are thrilled to have them dance with us.
