Dance It Yourself Nutcracker
Calling all wanna-be sugar plum fairies and toy soldiers of every age: dig out your sparkles and buff up your dancing shoes! Gibbs-Morrison Cultural Center will present another season of Evanston’s dance-along holiday classic: the “Dance It Yourself Nutcracker.”
Don’t miss your chance to make this a holiday tradition. The mother/daughter team of Tess Dinerstein, an ETHS student, and Angela Allyn, a former professional dancer, return again this year with yards of chiffon and lots of tiaras. They have plumbed thrift stores and rummage sales for a broad selection of props, costumes and accessories, so performers of every size can participate in the modulated mayhem! They will lead participants through the story using extra large post-ups and Tchaikovsky’s marvelous music. There will be capes and swords for the soldiers, tutus for the ballerinas, and you may watch or join in as inspired.
It only takes an hour!
Age: All
