In the ballet community, it is not the holidays without The Nutcracker. The Nutcracker is the most performed ballet in America and is often an introduction to classical ballet and music for many young people. Whether learning a new divertissement or reprising a role, the feeling of accomplishment and confidence while performing this ballet is unmatched.

“I wanted to reach out and congratulate you on a truly wonderful Nutcracker weekend! I had the pleasure of seeing both shows and I have found myself wishing there was another one to go to today… The level of every aspect of the production was so amazing, the set, the costumes, the dancing! I can’t wait to see it again next year.”

“I took my daughter to your Nutcracker show this year and we had such a wonderful time! What an amazing production!  The costumes, dancing, set and everything was beautiful.”

“I wanted to express once again how lovely the Nutcracker performance was this year.  As always, so well done and the dancers showcased their personalities and capabilities beautifully.”
