Kick off the holidays with Morgantown Dance as they perform a
whimsical version of the classic holiday story – The Nutcracker.
Journey with Clara to a land of enchantment filled with swirling
snowflakes, dancing gingerbread cookies, toys that come to life, and a
special appearance by Santa and his elves. This two-act production is
under the artistic direction of our Director of Community Productions,
Desiree Witt with choreography by Desiree Witt, Gretchen Hurd, Ashley
Manzo, Mollie Mock Kaufman and Craig Kaufman. Incorporating the jazz
rhythms and syncopations of Duke Ellington’s rendition of
Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker score with jazz band instrumentation, this
year’s Nutcracker hopes to surprise everyone. Combining jazz, tap,
modern, contemporary ballet, and even hip-hop with non-traditional
costumes and music will leave audiences with toes tapping and fingers
snapping.
