Nutcracker Ballet

Experience the magic of The Nutcracker Ballet! Vail Friends of Dance presents dancers from the Vail Youth Ballet Company and Vail Valley Academy of Dance in an incredible performance of this classic holiday production.

The holiday tradition of the “Nutcracker” comes to life with beautiful performances, spectacular costumes and mesmerizing backdrops.

The classic story follows Clara on a magical journey with the Nutcracker prince from the Christmas Eve party, battle between soldiers and Mouse Queen’s army to the Land of the Snowflakes and the Land of Sweets. Here, Clara and the Prince are welcomed by the Snow Queen and Sugar Plum Fairy, with rewards of beautiful gifts and celebrations of dances from around the world. Clara awakens from her dream at home with exciting and beautiful memories of her journey with her Nutcracker Prince.

This high-level local production features incredible artistry, breathtaking dancing, beautiful costumes and colorful sets that are on-par with performances seen from large-scale “big city” studios.

Professional guest dancers will accompany local dancers with Gabe Wittrup as the Nutcracker Prince and Nathan Crewe-Kluge as the Sugar Plum Cavalier. In addition, members from the community participate as Drosselmeyer and Party Parents.
