As the holiday season draws near, we’re thrilled to share a special performance that is part of our 25th-anniversary celebration – THE NUTCRACKER: Symphony of Dance! This year, we’re reimagining the timeless classic with a fresh, exciting twist. Who doesn’t love a little holiday fun? We can’t wait to spread the news, and share some adorable pictures at the end of this post!
About The Show
The Nutcracker is a classical ballet that has become one of the most beloved and iconic holiday traditions worldwide. It features music from the Russian composer Tchaikovsky and tells the story of Clara, a young girl who receives a magical nutcracker doll from her godfather on Christmas Eve. That night, the Nutcracker comes to life, leading Clara on an enchanting holiday adventure.
Our show on December 14th will be a unique adaptation, featuring selections from the original, while also incorporating numbers from various dance genres. Our recreational and company students have been rehearsing since September and they can’t wait to debut their routines!
A New Performance Opportunity
In previous years, most of our students got one formal performance opportunity at our year-end Spring Recital. This year’s 25th anniversary special performance gives them two formal performances on stage, which we believe is incredibly valuable for building a child’s confidence! They learn to work through those pre-performance jitters, face their fears, and trust themselves. The excitement they share along the way truly makes it very special for everyone involved.
Holiday Fun for The Whole Family
In addition to teaching kids valuable skills, this performance will create sweet holiday memories for our dancers. We know how special the holidays can be for children, and there’s something extra magical about the excitement of a holiday show. There’s an undeniable warmth that comes with being a part of something bigger than ourselves during this time of year. The twinkling lights, the familiar music, a spectacular growing tree, the costumes, and the joy of watching our students shine on stage—it’s a memory you’ll cherish as a family for years to come.
