Before the holidays, the final curtain fell on our 2025 Nutcracker Performance, but we are still reliving the magic! After an unforgettable show, we were overwhelmed with pride and gratitude for everyone who made this year’s production such a success. From the first rehearsal to the last bow, it was a journey full of hard work and holiday joy! We want to take a moment to reflect on the success of the performance, congratulate our incredible dancers, and thank everyone who made it possible.
Congratulations to our dancers!
For some of our students, this was their very first performance on stage! We hope you enjoyed your time in the spotlight! For our seasoned performers, we hope you cherished the moment and felt proud of your work. From our tiniest tutus to our Performance Company members, we want to congratulate all our performers on a job well done. Your courage, confidence, and poise truly shined!
Dancing for a Cause
We are especially proud to share the impact our dancers made beyond the stage. Across our ticket sales, donations, and bake sale, we were able to raise a grand total of $1,445 for Darby’s Dancers. For those who aren’t yet familiar, Darby’s Dancers is an adaptive dance class for children with disabilities. To learn more about this amazing program, visit our website here!
Kind Words From a Parent’s Perspective
We’re also thrilled to share this beautiful testimonial from one of our dance families. Morgan highlights what the Nutcracker experience meant to her this year:
“Where some little girls struggle to find a place where they fit, you give girls like mine a place they feel they belong. My daughter has always struggled with motor skills since she was born, and has struggled in sports and other activities because of it. Dance gives her a place that goes at her pace, teaches her grace and even if she isn’t the strongest dancer there she has a sense of belonging to something. You give her and so many others a reason to dress up, build their self confidence and have a purpose they may not have ever had. So thank you <3”
~Morgan, DU Parent
Thank you, Morgan for your kind words. We absolutely love hearing about the difference we make in a child’s confidence.

A Heartfelt Thank You!
As we reflect on the amazing performance, we want to send a heartfelt thank you to our dancers, their families, and our amazing staff. Your dedication, support, and love for the art of dance are what make this studio such a special place. Producing the Nutcracker has been a long-time bucket list item for Ms. Laura, and this year’s performance was a dream come true!
