    While placement is not guaranteed we strive to find a place for dancers of all skill levels to perform in our Nutcracker.

    Tchaikovsky’s beloved Christmas classic “The Nutcracker” tells the story of Clara, a girl who receives a nutcracker as a Christmas present. In this fairy tale, toys come to life and battle an army of mice. Clara and her nutcracker, transformed into a prince, travel into the Land of Sweets, where they are treated by the Sugar Plum Fairy and sweets representing nations around the world.

  • Ballet dancers in blue tutus with floral headbands perform on stage with purple curtains in the background.

    A portion of all ticket sales and all donations go directly to our scholarship fund. This fund is designed to help dancers who typically would not be able to afford classical ballet training have access to classes, equipment and performance opportunities they otherwise wouldn’t be able to.
