The magic of the season comes to life in this stunning production of the Nutcracker Ballet. Colorful costumes, breathtaking music, and over 50 local, classically trained dancers make this performance a true holiday tradition.

The Dance Center of Kirkwood presents its annual Nutcracker Ballet in November of each year at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center (KPAC). The production lasts approximately two hours with one 15-minute intermission. All ages are welcome!
