CONGRATULATIONS COMMUNITY DANCERS!

We want to thank everyone, dancers and parents alike, for your incredible dedication and hard work to make The Nutcracker a success in 2025! By the numbers:

  • More than 200 dancers auditions for the production

  • Over 40 dance studios across the region were represented

  • Nearly 5,000 people were in attendance over our six performances at Hoyt Sherman Place

Just like in years past, we continue to learn and adjust our process based on feedback and unforeseen circumstances. For instance, although we had a defined process for check-in heading into performance week, we quickly changed our plans to ensure things went more smoothly for the rest of the week! Please consider completing the short survey at the button below to provide any feedback for us so that we can continue to improve our processes and communitcation.
