The Nutcracker.

Our most beloved
tradition.

Every December, Perfect Pointe mounts a full-length, two-act production of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker — professionally staged, costumed, and lit from overture to final bow.

This is not a recital excerpt. Our Nutcracker is a complete theatrical production: a full cast, professional stage lighting, elaborate costumes, and the iconic Tchaikovsky score performed in its entirety. Open to dancers ages 6 and up, it is the most ambitious and beloved event on our calendar every year.

From the Battle Scene to the Land of Snow to the Kingdom of Sweets, our dancers inhabit every role with artistry and commitment — and families in the audience see firsthand how far their dancer has come. Whether it's a young dancer's first time onstage or a senior student's farewell performance, the magic never fades.
