Nutcracker wouldn’t be Nutcracker without the local Children’s cast! Dancing along side the full professional Russian cast are local Edmonton children from Dance Theatre Performing Arts Centre. Dance Theatre Performing Arts Centre is a Performing Arts School that offers children and adult classes in dance, drama, and voice. Although taught separately, all classes are inter-related and culminate in a full musical theatre production at the end of the season. Classes are taught by highly qualified and experienced instructors and performers in the disciplines offered. Class sizes are small (maximum of 10 students) with two staff members present at all times. Dance Theatre strives to offer an inclusive program where students of all ages, levels and abilities are welcome. It is their goal to foster a lifelong love and appreciation of the performing arts in each of our students.
