CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NUTCRACKER CAST! We had auditions for our 2023 cast on Saturday, September 23, 2023. This will be our biggest cast with 83 performers.
The performance is on Saturday, December 9, 2023 at the Everett Civic Auditorium. Tickets will be available staring November 1st.
Our 2022 production of The Nutcracker was on Saturday, December 10, 2022 at the Everett Civic Auditorium. The Dance School gave 400 free tickets to the community to see our production of The Nutcracker. We believe dance (and performances) should be accessible to everyone, and we plan to continue to provide opportunities for local youth and families to see our shows.
This unique opportunity gives TDS students a chance to choreograph their own original routine to a song of their choice, and perform for their family, friends and community.
Auditions for next show will be on Saturday, February 3, 2024 with a performance on Sunday, April 14, 2024 at the Historic Everett Theater.
