Dance! To Your Heart's Delight's1
annual Sugar Plum Fairy Tea Party is one of Orange County's premiere holiday
events each year. Honored guests are treated to a magical day. Set in the
Fellowship Hall at Church of the Foothills and transformed into a themed
wonderland, guests are escorted to their table by members from our Nutcracker
cast where they will make crafts, and eat delicacies. Our guests will be
treated to a special narrated Nutcracker performance, and may browse through
our famed Nutcracker boutique.
All guests will meet the Sugarplum Fairy
and pose with her for a picture to take home and treasure forever.
Nearly 350 guests joined us in 2023 for
our 14th annual Sugar Plum Fairy Tea Party on Saturday, November 11,
2023. Children, teenagers and adults of all ages attended our, fun holiday
event this year and tickets always sell out quickly to this very popular
holiday event.
Net proceeds were used to help fund our
19th annual, professionally staged production of 'The Nutcracker'
at Downey Theatre in Downey on December 1 - 3, 2023.
1 Dance! To Your Heart's Delight (DTYHD) is Tustin Dance
Center's 501(c)(3) non-profit, formed in 2004. DTYHD has promoted and brought the joy of the arts to the
greater Orange County community since 2004 to the delight of both young and

staged holiday favorite with a cast of over 65 dancers. We perform our mini,
narrated 'Nutcracker in a Nutshell' (Nutshell) performance at the Sugar Plum
Fairy Tea Party and many other times in the community each fall at the annual
Tustin Tree Lighting ceremony, the Enderle Center Holiday Open House in Tustin
and at numerous other entities who assist the underserved. We are privileged
to entertain and enlighten audiences, and we wouldn't be able to do it all
without the help of our magical and talented artists.

Dance! To Your Heart's Delight (DTYHD)
also held its 19th annual performances of The
Nutcracker Ballet, on December 1 - 3, 2023 at the beautiful Downey
Theatre in Downey.
DTYHD donated all seats to the December 1, 2023
performance to underserved organizations in Orange and LA counties to bring
the joy of the arts to individuals and families who might not otherwise be
exposed to the arts. They were so appreciative of this opportunity to see a
professional ballet and hear Tchaikovsky's great score to a live orchestra.

Now Accepting Donations

DTYHD has sponsored hundreds of guests from the Boys
& Girls Club of Tustin, Orange County Rescue Mission, and several other
local organizations to attend our fully-staged, professional production of The
Nutcracker Ballet for the last 10 years sans 2020. With production
costs rising every year, we could use your help to sponsor to individuals and
families who utilize services from these great organizations to attend our
event.
We
produce The Nutcracker Ballet via our 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization named "Dance! To Your Heart's Delight". That means your donation
is fully tax deductible and will be used for three primary purposes: 1) to
sponsor the families mentioned above, 2) to replace costumes badly in need of
replacement, and 3) to defray the many costs of producing and holding our
great event. Kindly consider making a donation to help us reach our goal to raise $15,000.
