We are so excited for our annual performance of The Nutcracker!

This year’s performances will take place on Saturday, December 13, 2025 at the Hagee Communication Center at Nelson University (formerly SAGU).

About the Show

All dancers in Ballet 1 - Ballet 4 classes will perform in The Nutcracker. Dancers will learn their choreography in class each week, so attendance is essential.

Because The Nutcracker is a production - and not a typical recital - additional in-studio rehearsals are needed to learn cues for entering and exiting the stage. These rehearsals will take place on Fridays and/or Saturdays leading up to the performance. Dates will be sent out as soon as they have been set.
