SCDT
Seattle Civic Dance Theatre
We are hiring!
FAQ
How much is it? (It's free)
Dancers do not pay to participate in our programs. Our mission is to make ballet more accessible. This is made possible through grants and donations. See our sponsors page here.
How do I sign up?
Dancers must audition to participate in our shows. Anyone ages 8 to 18 are welcome to sign up.

The Magical Doll Maker cast rehearses on Sundays, September through November in Burien. If you want to join us, see the below important dates before making the commitment. Please let us know of any conflicts as far in advance as possible. We understand most of our dancers practice and perform with their own studios. We want to supplement their dance opportunities, not keep them from their other commitments.
Important dates:
In person Auditions: Sunday, August 23rd
Dress rehearsal: Thursday, November 19th
Performance: Sunday, November 22nd
Mandatory rehearsals start Sunday September 13th through November 15th. Times TBA.
Is SCDT a studio? (No)
Seattle Civic Dance Theatre is not a studio. We do not offer regular classes or collect tuition. There are many quality dance schools in the PNW already. Our board members recognize ballet is an expensive and competitive art form. We see the numerous great schools and teachers in our community AND we see the need to make these great resources more accessible. That is our mission. SCDT connects dancers from different studios, gives them a chance to collaborate in our shows, and reduces the financial barriers to ballet.
Wait, so what is it? (It's a nonprofit)
SCDT is a nonprofit organization. Our community, alumni, local businesses and grants make it possible for us to award scholarships help offset the cost of dancing (pointe shoes, tuition, summer intensives, costumes, etc.) See our sponsors page here. Donations mean we can stage shows and perform at dance festivals at no cost to the dancers. See more on our About Us page here or donate to make this all possible here.
