21 Oct Roswell Dance Theatre presents The Nutcracker
Dancers from the Tolbert Yilmaz School of Dance along with the in-house performing company the Roswell Dance Theatre are hard at work rehearsing for the annual production of The Nutcracker.
Roswell Dance Theatre kicks off the holiday season each year with its traditional presentation of the beloved classic. The dancers tell the beautiful story of The Nutcracker and bring joy to all who witness the magic. Company dancers began learning and rehearsing their parts in August, at the pre-season Nutcracker boot camp. Rehearsals continue throughout the fall, with the dancers taking the stage the day after Thanksgiving to open the 10-show run. The investment of time and effort by each choreographer, instructor, dancer, stage hand, and volunteer is evident at every show.
Elegantly costumed and staged, the show is expected to tantalize over 10,000 patrons again this year at the beautiful Byers Theatre at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center.
After a short winter break, the school and company dancers will be back in the studio preparing for two upcoming spring productions: RDT’s Movement Collective will present a tribute to Whitney Houston in March, and the RDT PreProfessional company will present an original production of The Little Mermaid in April. More details about these spring shows coming in January.
