Session Description

A Chicago family favorite for nearly a decade, this isn't just any Nutcracker – it's a time machine to the roaring twenties, where Clara dances through a world of shimmering sequins, geometric splendor, and the intoxicating rhythms of an era that defined glamour. This is where dreams take flight against backdrops of gold and silver, where every pirouette tells a story of imagination, beauty, and the magic that happens when classical ballet meets the electric energy of the 1920s. For young performers, it represents more than just a role – it's a chance to be part of Chicago's most talked-about holiday tradition, performing alongside seasoned professionals in a production that critics and audiences alike have celebrated as "visually stunning" and "utterly captivating."
