Our Nutcracker Reviews
Our family loved the Nutcracker! As usual, your older dancers were both impressive and expressive, demonstrating lovely technique and skill. And it’s always a treat to see the budding skills of the young dancers.
Bravo to you and your amazing team for creating a positive and disciplined learning environment each week for the kids, and for creating professional performances that we can all enjoy together.

All of my friends who attended the performance commented on how amazing, funny and professionally done the show was. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the performance.”
“My first time seeing the Nutcracker. Enjoyed the show. Dancers were graceful, the little ones adorable, and the costumes were awesome too.”
“The show was fantastic. My grandson was mesmerized and loved it. He was swaying to the music and loved watching all the dancers. This is definitely a new family tradition that we will carry on every year!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I thought the sets and costumes were top notch. But it was the children that made the event so special. The choreography was very well done so that everyone would shine.”
