Reviews

“A magical production – the sets and costumes are outstanding and the dancers exquisitely talented! I can’t recommend this production highly enough! If you only see one show this holiday season, it should be Dancenter North’s Magic of the Nutcracker!”  

Michelle Brown

It was beautiful, the sets and scenery, the level of skill and dance from all of the performers, the Christmas Tree that ‘grew’…every second was wonderful.  We left with smiles and happy hearts.”  

“The Magic of the Nutcracker being presented by Dancenter North is a truly brilliant and dazzling spectacle of lavish costuming, precise and beautiful dancing, detailed and elaborate sets and magic. The large cast presents the story of the nutcracker in a two hour solid performance… I was completely awestruck at the beauty of this very professional production. A must see for the holidays.”
