Washington Contemporary Ballet celebrates the holiday season with our annual production of The Nutcracker.  This full-length classical presentation of a family holiday favorite includes Tchaikovsky's memorable score and choreography by Kay Englert. 

The magical Herr Drosselmeyer arrives at Clara's house with presents, dancing dolls, and a nutcracker. In her dreams, Clara and her Nutcracker battle the Mouse Queen and an army of mice. They arrive in the Land of Snow amongst a blizzard of dancing snowflakes. In the Kingdom of Sweets, Clara and her Prince are entertained as the dancing candies come to life.

You won't want to miss Washington Contemporary Ballet's presentation with beautiful dancing, exquisite costumes, and colorful characters in this family holiday tradition.
