DANCE IT FORWARD – NUTCRACKER BALLET
Join us this holiday season for a beautiful ballet danced to the timeless music of Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker”. This year marks the 27th Anniversary of this production. Professional dancers will share the stage with York’s pre-professional regional youth ballet company, Greater York Youth Ballet. The tale of The Nutcracker, written by E.T.A. Hoffman in 1816, has fascinated artists and audiences for decades.
The Nutcracker Ballet takes place in two acts and tells the story of a Christmas Eve in the 1800s at the home of young Clara and her family, The Stahlbaum’s, during their holiday party. The mysterious magician, Drosselmyer, makes a surprise visit and presents Clara with a very unique Nutcracker doll. This begins the magical journey of Clara and her Nutcracker Prince from an intense battle between toy soldiers and mice to the Kingdom of Snow and the Land of Sweets.
The traditional classical ballet will delight persons of all ages with its music, mystery and magic.
Featuring Yoshiko Kamikusa and Luzemberg Santana, Professional Guest Artists from the Indianapolis Ballet. Artist’s appearances with Greater York Youth Ballet and Dance It Forward are through the courtesy of the Indianapolis Ballet, and by arrangement with Mark Kappel, 252 West 76th Street, Suite 6E, New York NY 10023.
