Every year the studio performs the magical story of E.T.A. Hoffman’s The Nutcracker. Dancers ages 7 and up are invited to perform with us and take part in this feature-length Ballet. Students who wish to participate in the Nutcracker must take ballet during the summer session. Please know that your attendance during the summer classes will be taken into consideration at the time of the audition, especially our upper-level classes. For more information, please review our Nutcracker 2019 Information Letter

Girl Scout Holiday Package
We are pleased to invite Girl Scout Troops to our performance of The Nutcracker. Through the years, CVDA has enjoyed having troops at the performances and introducing them to the world of dance. We would be pleased to share this Holiday tradition of The Nutcracker again with any Troops interested. If you are interested, we would like to offer you group tickets at a discounted price of $12.00 per scout (regularly $14.00) for children under 12. Included with your tickets will be a Q&A with Clara and the Sugar Plum Fairy immediately following your performance.
