THE NUTCRACKER

Each year, The Nutcracker performances rings in the holiday season as a long-held tradition celebrated around the world. In the Tampa Bay Area, TCB brings together audiences of all ages and backgrounds to participate in this family event. This performance will help illustrate just how Tampa City Ballet strives to make a difference through dance, music, performance and high-quality arts education.

Tampa City Ballet works in close collaboration with Tampa City Ballet Dance School (TCBDS). Together, we celebrate the promise, enthusiasm, and commitment of these hard-working young artist ­– dance students, budding choreographers and their supportive families.

Many of the Tampa City Ballet dancers are scholarship recipients nurtured through mentoring and performance opportunities and the high-quality training provided by the TCBDS at its studios in New Tampa.

The lead roles of Prince, Nutcracker, Snow King and Cavalier are being performed by TCB scholarship students from the TCB project, “On Your Feet”! Such a remarkable experience for the pre-professional and professional level dancers while showcasing opportunities to the young students new to dance and performing.

TCB is creating a beautiful dance community in the Tampa Bay Area and giving access to a new generation into the magical world of arts and entertainment.
