Nutcracker for Kids!

How we grew

Our Nutcracker, which is danced by our students, is a one hour, condensed and narrated version of the full story of the Nutcracker.  It is designed for the attention span of kids from 2 to 102!

Our first production was in 2008 on the Tom Thumb stage.  We expanded to the Paramount Center for the Arts in Peekskill in 2010, and were fortunate to be able to move to the beautiful Putnam Valley HS Performing Arts Center in 2012 when the Paramount closed. In 2014 we moved to Yorktown Stage and will be appearing there again December 15 and 16. The performance times and ticket prices T.B.D. You can buy at Dance for Joy after December 1 or at Yorktown Stage at the Dance for Joy table the day of the performances.
