For more than 30 years, WHDT has made this cherished, family-friendly tradition a highlight of the season for generations of student dancers, musicians, theatre enthusiasts, and the community at-large. <\/strong>Our students, dance educators, administrative team, and volunteers spend months rehearsing, altering costumes, preparing stage props, promoting ticket sales, fundraising, and planning every detail of the performance. It’s a huge undertaking for a small nonprofit, and costs have continued to increase, but it’s a tremendous opportunity that we are committed to perpetuate!<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Nutcracker Ballet enriches our Big Island community by:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u2022 providing our students (ages 3 to mature adult) the experience of performing in a full-length stage production with an audience, which is a fun way to build confidence.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u2022 having professional guest artists act as career role models and mentors for students, in addition to sharing their beautiful talent on stage.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u2022 connecting community members with a love of music and dance through a shared holiday tradition.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n
