The Nutcracker

Bella Dance Academy presents The Nutcracker, a timeless holiday tradition for the whole family! It’s Christmas Eve at the Silberhaus residence, and excitement runs high as last minute preparations are made. Guests begin to arrive to celebrate the holiday with Clara and her family. Arriving late in the midst of the celebration is Drosselmeyer, Clara’s mysterious uncle. He entertains everyone with magic tricks and mechanical dolls. Drosselmeyer then presents Clara with a wooden nutcracker soldier. Her brother Fritz feels slighted, becomes jealous and tries to take the nutcracker from Clara. In the struggle, the nutcracker is broken. Clara is devastated, but Drosselmeyer mends the nutcracker. As the children grow weary, the guests depart, and Drosselmeyer disappears as mysteriously as he had arrived. Clara carefully places her beloved nutcracker under the Christmas tree before the family retires to bed. That night, Clara tiptoes back to the Christmas tree and falls asleep next to the wooden Nutcracker doll. Once the clock strikes midnight, the magic begins!
