Join us for a magical Sunday afternoon at Project Ballet filled with dancing, creativity, and holiday fun!  Young dancers will step into the world of Nutcracker at the Embassy as they learn choreography from our beloved ballet, meet our dancers, and make their very own wand to take home.

Participants should wear ballet shoes or socks and clothing that allows for easy, modest movement - leotards, leggings, or comfortable clothes are perfect.  Tutus welcome! This event is open to children of all ages, and specifically designed for children ages 8 and under.

At the end, you’ll enjoy a mini-performance by our dancers from Nutcracker at the Embassy.  Parents are welcome to watch the event from our closed-circuit monitors in the lobby, or leave and come back for pickup.  The performance at the end is open for everyone to watch!
