Nashville Ballet has announced the date for their annual Nutcracker Tea to be held on Sunday, November 24 from 3 – 5 p.m. at Belmont University’s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts.
The event serves as the official kickoff party of Nashville Ballet’s favorite holiday tradition, and raises much needed funds to support the School of Nashville Ballet’s Scholarship Fund. The funds raised from this event allow Nashville Ballet to award over $250,000 annually in merit and need-based scholarships, providing high-quality dance training to students of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.
This enchanting, family-friendly event gives attendees the opportunity to experience the Sugar Plum Fairy’s kingdom, the Mouse King, Clara and her Nutcracker Prince, up close and personal. The festive, Nashville’s Nutcracker-themed party brings the joy of the season by offering a shortened, interactive version of Nashville Ballet’s holiday classic, Nashville’s Nutcracker for little ones. The event is geared towards preschool to elementary ages, but all ages are welcome.
“Last year was such a magical experience for young families, helping kick off the festive Nutcracker season and establishing a new, beloved holiday tradition” said Julie Galbierz. “This year, we’re planning to make the event even bigger and brighter, with more activities, special surprises and plenty of space for extra ballet magic. Leigh, Crystal, and I are also proud to be raising money for Nashville Ballet’s scholarship fund, helping give the gift of dance education to deserving children regardless of age, background or ability.”
Attendees will enjoy hot chocolate, treats, arts and crafts and other whimsical activities. Featuring appearances by beloved Nashville’s Nutcracker characters, festive adult beverages and a professional photo opportunity, this event is a perfect way to spend the afternoon with the entire family.
Nashville’s Nutcracker Tea tickets start at $500 for 2 attendees and are on sale at NashvilleBallet.com/Nutcracker-Tea.
