Under the artistic vision of Vlada Kysselova, Peace Center Resident Company International Ballet brings this holiday classic to life every winter, showcasing the talent of dancers from all over the Upstate to the grand score of Tchaikovsky. Join young Clara in her holiday adventure as she helps her toy Nutcracker defeat an evil Mouse King, watches his transformation into a Prince amidst a flurry of beautiful snowflakes, and journeys with him to the Land of the Sweets, including an energetic parade of International flair, a joyous Waltz of the Flowers with the beautiful Dewdrop Fairy, and a grand pas de deux by Clara and her Prince themselves - make the Nutcracker a family tradition this December!
