Virtual Nutcracker Competition December 12th & 13th
We are excited to announce that we have entered 10 pieces from previous years of our production of The Nutcracker to the Universal Ballet Competition's Virtual Nutcracker Competition and Performance. These pieces will be judged against other studios submissions from their own performances. The winning performances from each category will be pieced together to form one continuous Nutcracker performance! The winners will be announced on December 14th and the final performance will be shown on December 19th. See the schedule below and be sure not to miss any of our entires!
