Youth Performances are open to pre-K through 12th grade students and their teachers. When school groups arrive, the curtain is open, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse to educate and inform prior to the start of the ballet. The production crew does a final check and dancers take their places for the top of the show. Public and independent school groups and home-school co-ops are welcome.

For the 24/25 season we are excited to offer four different date and time options during the school day for students to experience the beloved holiday classic The Nutcracker! Join Clara and her Prince as they take you on a journey to the Kingdom of Sweets.
