About The Nutcracker
“The Nutcracker” follows a young girl, Clara, through her adventures on Christmas Eve during a party visited by her mysterious Uncle Drosselmeyer. Life size dolls and toy soldiers create an evening that grows even more fantastical as she falls asleep and witnesses toy soldiers battling mice and rats. A journey through the Land of Snow leads her to a world led by the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier, and filled with dancing candies and sweets performing for her and her soldier prince.

Take a class at Pinot’s Palette to paint a Degas-inspired Ballerina, and support Canyon Concert Ballet!
The great artist Edgar Degas once said that his chief interest in painting dancers was in rendering movement and painting pretty clothes. This painting captures Degas’ love for the grace of drawing and the charm of color.
This class is a fundraiser for Canyon Concert Ballet! $10 of every registration will be donated to our mission of bringing dance to the Northern Colorado Community. Paint for a purpose!
