Sound Movement Arts Center Announces 2023 Holiday Nutcracker Showcase: Ft. The Nutcracker-Act 2! & MOVE! - MDC Showcase!

With the Holiday Season fast approaching, staff and students at Sound Movement Arts Center have been hard at work preparing our 2023 Holiday Nutcracker Showcase with two shows to be presented to the community on Saturday, December 16, 2023.

New this year is a 1pm matinee performance titled The Nutcracker-Act 2! This 45 minute abbreviated performance of the second half of the family friendly classic is perfect for all ages. It is especially well suited for families with little ballet enthusiasts who want to experience the magic of the Nutcracker but may find sitting through the full runtime a challenge! Our Ballet Students will transport you from Clara's living room to the land of sweets in our second annual production of this classic holiday ballet. Join us in the lobby following the show for a meet and greet with the cast while enjoying tea and sweets. The best part? Your (cash only) purchase of tea and sweets helps support the dancers in our program and makes more shows like this possible for our community!

Later, at 5pm, join us again for an exciting performance featuring Sound Movement Arts Center's own youth competitive dance team, the Movement Dance Company (MDC). Prepare to be inspired by dance performances in a variety of genres from our MDC Students including hip hop, tap, jazz, musical theater, and more, as they debut their 2024 competition routines. After intermission, our Ballet Students will return with an encore performance of The Nutcracker-Act 2, full of holiday magic and cheer. With a run time of approximately 2 hours, this versatile and fast moving show has something to keep the whole family entertained!

Performances will be held Saturday, December 16, 2023 at 1:00 PM & 5:00 PM at Curtis High School Theater: 8425 40th St W, University Place, WA 98466.
