(12/18/2018) - Northridge, CA
On Wednesday, December 16th, 2018, at the Soraya Center for the Performing Arts Theatre in Northridge, CA, a very special group of children, who have been chosen by the Moscow Ballet, will be dancing on stage alongside the ballet company's professional dancers in their prestigious and unique version of The Great Russian Nutcracker as part of their Dance-with-Us Program.
There is no other interpretation like theirs in the world. The 'Dove of Peace' section of the Ballet is exclusive to the Moscow Ballet Company, and is a magnificent sight to see. Two of the Principal dancers, during the overture of Act II, partner in unison to create a white dove of peace, with a 20-foot wing span, who leads the main characters into the Land of Peace and Harmony, popularly known as the Land of the Sweets.Photo Flash: Looking Back At (mostly)musicals' HOLIDAY Show, & 5th Anniversary Show Announced by BWW News Desk - Los Angeles
