Drawing upon classical ballet, urban tap, hip-hop, swing, flamenco, step and jazz, this performance puts a modern spin on the 19th-century fairy tale. In the world of the URBAN NUTCRACKER, the smooth sounds of Duke Ellington blend with the gentle glow of neon lights driven by the heartbeat of Tchaikovsky.
