EVENT DESCRIPTION

Ahmedabad Ballet School Centre For Dance And Arts proudly presents The Nutcracker – A Dance Odyssey, a reimagined adaptation of the beloved holiday classic. This unique production is designed for families, children, dance lovers, and anyone who enjoys immersive performing arts experiences. The show blends four powerful dance forms—Ballet, Kathak, Contemporary, and Aerial Arts—into one breathtaking stage journey, bringing Clara’s magical world to life in a visually rich and emotionally uplifting way.

What makes this production truly special is its fusion of genres. Audiences will witness the elegant discipline of classical ballet, the rhythmic and expressive vocabulary of Kathak, the fluid storytelling of contemporary dance, and the gravity-defying beauty of aerial movement — all woven seamlessly into one narrative.

Featuring over 89 performers (age 4 to 54 years) trained at Ahmedabad Ballet School, the production showcases months of preparation, original choreography, and a fresh artistic interpretation of a timeless tale.
