Tahoe Nutcracker 2025

Experience the magic of the holiday season with Lake Tahoe Dance Collective’s beloved Tahoe Nutcracker!

Set in the historic ballroom of the Tahoe Tavern on Christmas Eve one hundred years ago, this local favorite blends Tahoe’s rich history with timeless holiday tradition. This year’s performances feature Indiana Woodward, one of the greatest living dancers of our time and a principal with New York City Ballet, alongside Lawrence Rines Munro of Boston Ballet as her Cavalier.

Returning guest artists Daniel Baudendistel and Calvin Thomas join LTDC’s Artistic Director Christin Hanna and longtime collaborator Dan Morrison on stage, alongside the talented student dancers of the Lake Tahoe Dance Collective.

In order to sustain the high level of artistry our audiences have come to expect, LTDC is raising ticket prices for the first time in 18 years, with seats starting at $30. Performances now feature assigned seating, and a special section of “Pay What You Can” tickets ensures this cherished holiday tradition remains accessible to everyone.

✨ Don’t miss this heartwarming production that brings together world-class dancers, local students, and the spirit of the Tahoe community.
