Cleveland Ballet Joins School of Cleveland Ballet for 

Nutcracker Tea

This Annual Tradition Takes on New Life and a New Location

 

CLEVELAND, OH November 16-Cleveland Ballet's sister organization the School
of Cleveland Ballet holds its 16th Annual Nutcracker Tea on December 18,
2016. This year the popular afternoon of dance, tea and Sugar Plum Fairies
will take place at Andrews Osborne Academy (AOA). Members of Cleveland
Ballet's resident company will also be on hand to perform select portions of
this holiday classic. 

 

The Nutcracker Tea provides families the chance to experience an abridged
version of the classic story ballet and meet the dancers after the
performance. School of Cleveland Ballet students present key scenes
choreographed by Artistic Director Gladisa Guadalupe set to Tchaikovsky's
famous score. This afternoon of dance and fun is ideal for families with
young children and aspiring ballet dancers and ballerinas. "We have been
performing the Nutcracker Tea for 16 years," says Guadalupe, "and each year
we have a chance to introduce more children and their families to this
wonderful and magical story." 

 

Continuing its tradition of celebrating classical ballet as a dance form for
all people, among the evening's dancers are Bedford Middle School students
and who auditioned for the program after attending Cleveland Ballet's
educational dance outreach program. Cleveland Ballet's STEP program
(science, technology, evaluation, performance), introduces students to
scientific ideas and topics to performative arts, especially dance. The
program provides a scalable model for teaching this integration.

This event is made possible thanks to a grant from Cuyahoga Arts and
Culture, which supports the Nutcracker Tea and the School's educational
outreach program. 

 

To purchase tickets $45 adult and $25 children from 2 to 16 years old and
