Nashville Ballet Announces Nutcracker Tea to Kick Off Holiday Season
Nashville, get ready for some holiday magic! The Nashville Ballet has officially announced the date for their annual Nutcracker Tea, which will take place on Sunday, November 24, from 3 to 5 p.m. at Belmont University’s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts. This delightful event not only marks the kickoff of a beloved holiday tradition but also raises funds to support the School of Nashville Ballet’s Scholarship Fund.
A Magical Experience for Families
The Nutcracker Tea is a family-friendly event that provides an enchanting experience for attendees, allowing them to immerse themselves in the wonderful world inspired by the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Mouse King, Clara, and her charming Nutcracker Prince. Every year, the party serves as the perfect opportunity for families to bond and celebrate the festive spirit of the season together.
Notably, the event is designed with preschoolers to elementary-aged children in mind, though all ages are absolutely welcome! Last year’s event was a resounding success, filled with laughter and community joy. Julie Galbierz, a representative of the event, shared, “Last year was such a magical experience for young families, helping kick off the festive Nutcracker season and establishing a new, beloved holiday tradition.”
Supporting Dance Education
While the Nutcracker Tea promises delight and festivities, it’s also an essential fundraiser. The funds generated from this event allow the Nashville Ballet to award over $250,000 annually in merit and need-based scholarships. This means that deserving children of all ages and backgrounds can receive top-notch dance training, enhancing their skills and fostering a passion for the arts.
What to Expect at the Event
As we look ahead to this year’s event, there are exciting plans in the works! Julie added, “This year, we’re planning to make the event even bigger and brighter, with more activities, special surprises, and plenty of space for extra ballet magic.”
Attendees can look forward to indulging in hot chocolate, delightful treats, and whimsical arts and crafts. There will also be opportunities for families to meet beloved characters from Nashville’s Nutcracker. Adults can enjoy festive beverages, while children engage in imaginative activities throughout the afternoon.
