Dance Showcase – December 18, 2023
The OCVTS Grunin Performing Arts Academy’s Dance Department presents “The Winter
Dance Concert: A Reconstruction of The Nutcracker.”
The Nutcracker, first premiering a week before Christmas by Moscow’s Imperial Theatre in
1892, is a classic Christmas Story, a fairy tale ballet is danced in two acts, centered on the
magical story of Clara and her Nutcracker. The ballet was originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov with the musical score by Pyotr llyich Tchaikovsky, which was adapted from the passage of “The Nutcracker & The Mouse King” written by E.T.A. Hoffman.
Since then, ballet companies all around the world have performed this holiday tradition and from the moment the lights dim, audiences are transported to a wondrous world of magic and wonder. A rousing snowstorm sends a blizzard of ballerinas across the stage, sweeping you to exotic locales in the enchanting Land of Sweets. Please enjoy our reconstructed rendition of The Nutcracker and other holiday selections presented by the Grunin Performing Arts Academy Dance Department’s Dance Ensemble.
