Hyde Park School of Dance Presents The Nutcracker 2013

Hyde Park School of Dance presents its annual performances of The Nutcracker at Mandel Hall, University of Chicago, 1131 East 57th Street, December 14th & 15th. This beautifully refurbished theater is the setting for a magical event featuring mischievous mice, shimmering snowflakes, a giant Mother Ginger, and a beautiful Clara as she meets exotic characters from faraway lands.

The Nutcracker is performed by well over 100 students of Hyde Park School of Dance and choreographed by the school's Founder and Artistic Director August Tye and the team of associate artistic directors. Ms. Tye is also Ballet Mistress of Lyric Opera of Chicago.

Our matinee performances will also feature our littlest dancers in the Pre-Ballet Holiday Show (included in the event ticket). An audience favorite!

Then join us for Sugar Plums & Tea in the McCormick Tribune Lounge after Sunday's matinee performance. Meet Clara, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and more while tasting delicious treats and refreshments. (Please note: this is a separate event requiring a separate ticket. Please visit the Sugar Plums & Tea 2013 - Hyde Park School of Dance ticket page for more information).
