Synergy Dance Center Presents the Nutcracker Ballet
Mark your calendars! Synergy Dance Center is thrilled to present its very first production of The Nutcracker ballet—and tickets are still available!
On December 7, 2025, our talented young dancers will bring this magical holiday classic to life at Delaware Valley University's Life Sciences Building. This year’s debut will include two performances, at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
This marks a major milestone for Synergy Dance Center. We're proud to launch this new tradition that will give young dancers in Montgomery County an opportunity to perform in one of the world's most celebrated ballets. The Nutcracker has launched countless professional dance careers. Now, your child can experience this cornerstone of classical ballet training right in their own backyard!
Why Performance Opportunities Like the Nutcracker Matter
Performance opportunities mean everything to young dancers. Stepping out on that stage teaches kids to trust in themselves and their training. They learn to manage butterflies, think on their feet, and stay focused under pressure. These experiences build the kind of confidence that shows up everywhere—not just in the dance studio.
Productions like the Nutcracker also teach kids to step into someone else's shoes. A dancer playing Clara learns to show wonder and bravery through movement. A snowflake in the corps learns to move as one with their fellow dancers. These are real-world skills wrapped in sequins and stage lights.
At Synergy Dance Center, we're committed to creating these opportunities for our students regularly. Our goal is to give each young dancer the chance to grow, shine, and build on their experiences year after year.

How Long is The Nutcracker Ballet?
Our production of The Nutcracker ballet runs just over an hour and includes an intermission. We recommend planning on about 90 minutes in total.
What is The Nutcracker About?
The Nutcracker tells the magical story of a young girl named Clara who receives a nutcracker toy for the holidays. On Christmas Eve, she dreams that the nutcracker comes to life as a handsome prince. Together, Clara and the prince battle the Mouse King and journey to the magical Land of Sweets. There, the Sugar Plum Fairy hosts a celebration with dances from around the world. It's a story about imagination, courage, and the wonder of childhood—and it’s the perfect way to kick off the holiday season!
Who Wrote The Nutcracker Ballet?
The music for The Nutcracker ballet was originally written in 1892 by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. It is based on the story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” by E. T. A. Hoffmann. Choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov created the original choreography.
What Should I Wear to The Nutcracker Ballet?
Audiences typically dress in smart casual or dressy attire—think holiday party! Keep in mind the performance venue is climate-controlled, so layers are always a smart choice for staying comfortable throughout the production.
Be Part of Synergy's Next Holiday Production
While casting for our first production is complete, this is just the beginning! The Nutcracker ballet will return as a biannual tradition at Synergy Dance Center.
