THE NUTCRACKER Ballet to be Presented at Beck Center For The Arts
This year's production showcases an ensemble of more than 80 performers.
In celebration of five decades of dance excellence, Beck Center is proudly producing a new staging of the beloved Nutcracker Ballet. It brings to life the enchanting story of Clara and her journey to the Land of Sweets. With fresh choreography, vibrant costumes, and Tchaikovsky's timeless score, this classic ballet promises to delight audiences and honor the rich legacy of dance at Beck Center.

Members of Beck's Dance Workshop bring to life Drosselmeier's magical dolls, the swirling Waltz of the Snowflakes, and the colorful dreamland of Sweets.
