Nutcracker Ballet

Dance Alive National Ballet will once again present Nutcracker in both Alachua and Gainesville and Class with Clara in Gainesville! Free and open to the public.

The all-time family favorite with beautiful dancing, sets, and costumes is here again! Everyone needs a hero, and in this case she’s a girl. Clara saves the Nutcracker prince, and to thank her he brings her on a magical journey to the Kingdom of the Sweets, where the exquisite Sugar Plum Fairy puts on a regal show. Tradition, beauty, grace, and a terrific story – what more can you ask for? Sheer magic and family-friendly!

A special hour-long family-friendly version of the classic Nutcracker for families without intermission. All Alachua and surrounding area audiences are invited. Special consideration for the disadvantaged. Meet the dancers following the performance!
