Event Details

TDC held its 13th annual Nutcracker Ballet on December 17 – 18, 2016. Our Nutcracker features a cast of 70 dancers with many key roles filled by our students, and principal roles performed by professional dancers.

Our ballet is professionally produced and elegant with a warmth you won’t find in any other Nutcracker performance in Orange County. Join us for our 14th annual production in 2017.

The Nutcracker Ballet Story

In this enchanting ballet, featuring the famous score by Tchaikovsky, a young girl has a very special Christmas. At a fun-filled family party with dancing, magic and dolls that come to life, Clara receives a special gift: a Nutcracker. That night she dreams of an epic battle between mice and toys, and a magical journey to the Kingdom of Sweets, where Clara dances with her Prince and meets the beautiful Sugar Plum Fairy.
