The Nutcracker is coming to the Crocker Theater

As the leaves deepen into beautiful fall colors, it is a true sign that winter is around the corner and with it …the magic that only the Nutcracker Ballet can bring! Santa Cruz City Ballet (SCCB) at International Academy of Dance (IAD) is buzzing with excitement, preparing for our favorite time of year!

The SCCB full-length Nutcracker is alive with innovative choreography, stunning dancers, beautiful sets and brilliant costumes. With renowned music of Tchaikovsky’s original score set by the Moscow Symphony, this production has become an annual tradition, showcasing local dancers, as well guest artists from the Bay Area and beyond.

What better way to ring in the season than with smiles, beauty and cheer!
