The Allegro dance season is set yearly by Artistic Director, Janne Dean and the Allegro Board of Directors. The season begins in April and continues through the bedtime ballet performance at The Grand in Wausau in early March.

Allegro dancers are chosen in a yearly audition. They must be enrolled in a minimum of two ballet technique classes a week and be between the ages of 10 and 18. Dancers 12 and older must be on pointe unless medical reasons prohibit it.

Dancers chosen for Allegro Dance Theater participate in classes and rehearsals every Saturday from 10:00 - 2:00 during the school year. In addition, a summer intensive consisting of class and rehearsal, is scheduled in July and August for four weeks for four hours a day.

Allegro Dance Theater is nonprofit and fundraisers provide a part of the operating budget for the troupe. Parents are expected to participate in at least three fundraisers during the year.

In addition to the ballet bedtime stories performed yearly at The Grand, Allegro is invited to perform at local festivals, and at schools throughout Wisconsin. Past season's performances include Peter and the Wolf in Stevens Point and Green Bay, Beauty and the Beast at The Grand in Wausau and in Rhinelander, and dance demonstrations in five schools in the Wausau School District. Allegro has performed at the Renaissance Festival in Wausau and Festival Aurora Borealis in Minocqua.
