Don’t Miss This Beloved Holiday Favorite! December 9, 10, 11: 2022

MainStage Academy of Dance presents: The Nutcracker!
The Nutcracker ballet is performed all over the world in many different styles and traditions, and MainStage Academy of Dance’s (MSAD) presentation of The Nutcracker is an integral part of our distinguished tradition of professionalism, service, and engagement in our community. We are thrilled to return to the stage this year with Artistic Director Eddy Brays’ interpretation of this beloved classic. MSAD welcomes all aspiring young dancers to audition, from those looking to pursue a profession in ballet to those who choose ballet as a fulfilling recreational activity. MSAD strives to make its productions unique , memorable, and family friendly. We welcome MSAD’s Academy dancers and MSAD’s recreational dancers as well as new faces to the auctions! Everyone is a part of the magic here at MSAD and that camaraderie is what has led viewers and supporters throughout the greater Lake Country area to consider MSAD’s Nutcracker experience for the holiday season.
