Overview

Whisk away your winter blues with this ballet full of magic, mystery and Christmas spirit!

Matinee shows have kid's activities during the interval including a colouring-in competition sponsored by Dendy Cinemas Canberra, selfie stations, dress-up stations complete with real dance costumes, and meet and greets with the principal dancers.

The wealth of experience from the choreographers is extensive including the grand pas de deux between Clara and her Nutcracker, which was choreographed by Josef Brown, famous Australian actor, dancer and choreographer! And the final scene of the ballet was choreographed by Caitlin-Rae Crook, an ex-professional ballerina and contemporary dancer who toured extensively in Germany, Belgium, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, China, USA and Australia!
