Ballet Chesapeake has developed a Nutcracker Outreach Program for preschool children held at the Bel Air Armory in December.
Children ages 2 through 6 years old are invited from area child care facilities, preschool programs, Kindergarten programs, and the general public to attend an age appropriate performance that introduces children to the magic of live theater.
This show includes excerpts from the Nutcracker ballet which are performed as a narrator explains the story of Clara and her magical toy. After the performance, costumed dancers meet the children and lead them in a group dance class.
For attending schools: Should the number of children or adults attending change, please call Ballet Chesapeake (410-877-0777) as soon as possible to update our records and ensure correct spaces reserved and amounts charged. Any additional children or parents without a prior reserved space at the performance will be turned away. Transportation will be the responsibility of the students’ school. No refunds or exchanges.
