The St. Joseph Dance Arts Performing Company will bring the story of a Nutcracker doll coming to life to a St. Joseph stage this weekend.
Performances of “The Nutcracker” will be at 2 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7, at the Missouri Theater, 717 Edmond St. The group has added to the ballet version of the show with lyrical, tap, hip-hop and other modern dance performance styles.
“If we always do the same thing as everyone else, there’s no good reason for people to continue to show interest in what we have to offer,” said Marla Heeler, artistic director of the St. Joseph Dance Arts Performing Company.
Tickets for Saturday’s performance can be purchased online at JoMoTickets.com or the door the day of the performances. Adult tickets are $15, student tickets are $10, and loge seating tickets are $20.
The Dance Arts Performing Company partners with the Dance Arts Center, which offers classes for those 3 and older. To learn more about dance classes visit TheDanceArtsCenter.com or call 816-233-5442.
