The Nutcracker, written by ETA Hoffman has brought so many fond memories to all of us. The ballet by Tchaikovsky changes the story a little bit but adds the dance of the snowflakes, the dolls and Sugar Plum fairy. Join with us in this delightful celebration and create a fun-packed holiday treasure for your loved ones or special friends.
