Last night I was able to attend the dress rehearsal of Ohio Dance Theatre’s presentation of The Nutcracker at Lorain County Community College. I was amazed to see such a superb performance such with dazzling costumes, beautiful scenery and fantastic dancing. The dancers seemed to defy gravity as the leaped, turned, and jumped!
The Nutcracker is the most family-friendly of Tchaikovsky’s ballets (he also created Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake) and the music is recognizable by even those who have never attended. I was excited to bring along my son, mom, dad and grandmother to this sneak peek performance last night and we were all able to hum along with many of the pieces as we enjoyed the gorgeous performance. My 8 year old son was so enthralled with the performance that he was able to sit through the whole performance quietly. For those of you with little boys you’ll understand how amazing that is!
During this year’s production of The Nutcracker, the Ohio Dance Theatre is happy to announce their guest artist, New York City Ballet principal dancer, Daniel Ulbicht. Daniel, has toured nationally and internationally as a dancer and also teaches at many well-known dance schools, private schools, and universities throughout the United States.
