Nutcracker Sweets
ARC Dance brings the magic of The Nutcracker alive in this child-friendly version of the holiday classic ballet.
Celebrating its 20 year anniversary, “We are excited to bring back our ‘Fastest Nutcracker in the West,’” back this year. It has been a joy to see the production grow and become a tradition for audience members in the Seattle area,” said Artistic Director and Choreographer Marie Chong.
