The Children's Ballet of San Antonio is committed to keeping the tradition of the holiday season alive! CBSA invites Dancers, Gymnasts, Actors and Performing Artists ages 3 to 19 to audition for The Children’s Nutcracker 2025! CBSA auditions are open to performing artists from all over San Antonio and more than 30 surrounding areas. Artists at all experience levels are encouraged to audition.
CBSA’s The Children’s Nutcracker 2025 will be presented on December 12 & 13, 2025. All artists will be cast in roles that showcase and highlight their individual talents and strengths. Artists will also have the opportunity to work with Master Ballet Teachers along with fantastic local choreographers!
Artists are required to register to secure their audition spot. Auditions are free.
Why should your dancer join CBSA?
CBSA productions feature a cast entirely made up of children ages 3 to 19! Therefore we are able to offer each dancer unparalleled opportunities to perform and to train as they work with choreographers and Master Ballet Teachers in rehearsal. Each dancer receives individual attention from our rehearsal directors and has the opportunity to dance in highlighted and lead roles!
