ArtSpire presents The Alexandria Community Nutcracker!

By producing this community favorite it will give ArtSpireVa the opportunity to provide more performance opportunities to youth who would not have the means to financially perform in a full length production of the holiday classic.  It will also provide more opportunities for youth in the community to attend this performance and experience live theatre.  We are excited to continue the tradition that Alexandria Dance has grown through the past 11 years. 
Please plan on joining us for ACN 12 in December!
​Auditions - Auditions for ACN 12 are complete, please plan on joining us for auditions for ACN 13 June 2021

This year will be my 12th year dancing in the Alexandria Community Nutcracker and my final year as one of the original members of the cast.
​
​Since my first year performing as a mouse when I was 6 years old, Nutcracker has been one of my favorite times of the year and continues to be an integral part of my dance experience. Since that first year, I have been cast across the show in many of the ensemble numbers and in a few leading roles including, most recently, the role of the Dew Drop Fairy.

I cherish the opportunity I’ve had to perform in this show with many of my closest friends and be part of this amazing community we have built over the years. I am so grateful for all of the directors for all the work they put into this show to make it new and spectacular every year and I can’t wait for another wonderful Nutcracker season!

I have been in nutcracker all 12 years! My favorite part has definitely been Drosselmeyer although I remember how excited I was being jazz doll years ago and Russian hip hop from 3 years ago was the most fun dance of my life.
Nutcracker means the world to me, it’s my been my favorite way to express myself as a dancer and honestly I would not know the joy of performing without it.
