On Sunday 8.12.24, a group of our Achievers Club dancers visited the Sanctuary Care Home in Wantage to perform a short rendition of The Nutcracker for its residents. The performance included scenes from our full-length production of the ballet, with specially choreographed transitions to condense the full show into a charming 10 minute presentation, complete with colourful costumes!
Our dancers worked on the piece alongside their teacher/choreographer, Miss Maryna, in their Achievers Club classes over the past few weeks, and visibly enjoyed entertaining the care home residents with their expressive dancing.
The Nutcracker is a traditional Christmas ballet with a much loved and well recognised Tchaikovsky score. It was a privilege to be able to spread some Christmas magic in this way, and a memorable experience for all involved.
