| $14 – $16This special dance event is designed especially for children, offering young audiences the perfect opportunity to get up close with the classical holiday tale of The Nutcracker.
“The Nutcracker Experience” will begin with a short, 20-minute performance of highlights from the second act of The Nutcracker, the beloved “Land of the Sweets.” This includes the dances of Hot Chocolate, Tea, Candy Canes, Waltz of the Flowers, and the Sugar Plum Fairy.
After the performance, young attendees will have the opportunity to come onstage and learn a portion of a dance from our cast. This sensory friendly, interactive, hands-on experience will allow them to connect with the magic of the ballet on a more personal level, making for a memorable performance. Parents and guardians will also be able to take photos of their child with their favorite character dancer.
As a parting gift, each child will also receive a Nutcracker themed goodie bag filled with surprises and treats to take home. It’s the perfect event for families and for children who want to experience The Nutcracker ballet in a family friendly way.
