Branches of Dance to present ‘The Nutcracker’

- From Ali Perzel

Branches of Dance is proud to announce its first production of The Nutcracker on Dec. 15 at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. at Wyomissing Junior/Senior High School. Branches of Dance have brought together a cast of 40 dancers from ages 6 to adults from Berks, Schuylkill and Lancaster counties. Branches of Dance is a small studio with big dreams. Our dancers wanted to put on the show and we needed more performers. So, in June we held auditions and invited dancers to come be a part of our show. It has been beautiful to watch new friendship­s form and for the dancers to learn from one another. Fifteen thousand rhinestone­s, 75 costumes, and 150 hours of rehearsal brings you one amazing show.

Branches Of Dance is a hosting a Tea Party at the studio as a fundraiser for the show. Spend a magical day in the “Land of Sweets” with The Sugar Plum Fairy and her friends from Branches of Dance’s The Nutcracker on Sunday, Dec. 9, at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. at Branches of Dance. For young ladies and gentlemen 3-years-old and older $10 per ticket (only the child needs a ticket parents are free). Ticket Package Includes Tea Party with Refreshmen­ts, Interactiv­e Story Time with the Cast, Nutcracker Keepsake, Photo Opportunit­ies, Crafts with Cast, and a Sneak Peak Mini Performanc­e by The Cast. It’s a great way to get into the holiday spirit.
