the nutcracker suite

"The Nutcracker Suite" created by Michelle Dorrance, Hannah Heller, and Josette Wiggan set to Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn's extraordinary interpretation of the Tchaikovsky score is a transformation of the classic tale trading pointe shoes for tap shoes in this high-energy, large ensemble reimagining of a seasonal favorite. In the music, the "March of the Toy Soldiers" becomes the "Peanut Brittle Brigade" and “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” becomes “Sugar Rum Cherry.” Join Dorrance Dance for an unforgettable trip to the land of sweets filled with surprises, humor, and the rhythmic symphony of world-class tap dancers.
