You’re invited to enjoy a beloved holiday tradition.

The longest-running pre-professional Nutcracker performance in the Indianapolis area returns to the stage Dec. 13-15 at the STAR Bank Performing Arts Center. CIDE showcases talented dancers ages 6-18, with the exception of a select few Butler Ballet male students + a former Ballet Arkansas male dancer who complete the ensemble.

Pro tip: IPS Schools can enjoy a special free performance, thanks to the Penrod Society. Contact Brittny at friends@cidedance.org for details. Don’t miss out on the Sugar Plum Fairy Dessert party prior to each matinee performance.
