From Renee Thomas, DAC Public Relations

Dancing Arts Center is pleased to announce the return of The Nutcracker at the Norwood Theater on December 17-19, 2021.

This will be Dancing Arts Center’s seventh production of The Nutcracker presented in Norwood and will feature fresh costumes, choreography, fun surprises, and guest artists. Telling the story of Clara’s Christmas Eve dream battling the Mouse Queen alongside her Nutcracker, dancing through the Land of Snow, sampling the Kingdom of Sweets, and meeting the Sugarplum Fairy and Cavalier, the Nutcracker has been captivating audiences and inspiring young dancers for generations. The beautiful and historic Norwood Theater located in downtown Norwood, Massachusetts, makes an ideal setting for this family-friendly and professional production of the traditional holiday ballet.

Throughout the rapidly changing health environments of 2020 and 2021, Dancing Arts Center remained steadfast in providing their students with the development opportunities so important to their growth as young people and positioning them to be prepared for this season’s Nutcracker. “We’re thrilled to be returning to the stage after being absent in 2020,” said DAC co-director Gregg Saulnier. “We have a renewed energy. Last year made us realize just what a special place the arts have, how much we need them, and what a gift it is to have the opportunity to work with our own students on such a top-notch production. We also want to thank all the parents of our students for being so supportive and flexible and helping us continue bringing the arts to their children. This long-awaited Nutcracker season is exciting for the kids, and for us.”

Tickets are on sale now for four general public matinées and evening performances from December 17-19.
