Festival Ballet is thrilled to celebrate its 39th season of The Nutcracker! For nearly four decades, our production has been brought to life by the talent, dedication, and unique spirit of local youth and community dancers. This cherished holiday tradition is a full-length professional ballet with the energy and passion of performers from our own community. While weekly rehearsals will take place at Denton Ballet Academy, choreography and character development will be taught through special weekend rehearsals designed to create a truly magical production experience.
