GREAT TURNOUT FOR FREE PERFORMANCES

Yesterday's turnout for the two free performances at The Hardens Mall/Nordstrom Court in Palm Beach Gardens was incredible!The audiences were very receptive to Paris Ballet's short version of The Nutcracker. Congratulations to the dancers who performed beautifully!


Shows like this could not be possible without the great backstage volunteers ...Who helped pack and transport costumes, props and the dance floor to bring it to the venue, worked backstage and re-packed everything, and brought it ALL back to the studio!

HAPPY HANUKKAH!

FREE PERFORMANCES

As part of Paris Ballet America's Community Outreach Program, Paris Ballet will present FREE performances of The Nutcracker Sweet. (It is called The Nutcracker Sweet because it is longer than the actual The Nutcracker Suite, which Tchaikovsky arranged himself.) This is a delightful rendition of the full-length
classic with a large case in full costumes.

The FREE performances are at the Garden Mall/Nordstrom Court on December 11 , 2022 at 3:00PM and
5:15 PM.
