A Holiday Tradition
24
Dance Instruction:
The magic of the
holiday season begins
with the Nutcracker.
Come celebrate a very
special performance of
the holiday classic with
the American Academy
Nutcracker. This pro-
duction has become
a Western New York
favorite, selling out
performances at U. B.
Center for the Arts. The
charm of this produc-
tion is its child friendly approach.
Choreographed to delight children
of all ages there are surprises tucked
into every scene. “People always tell
me how magical our production is”
says director, Maris Battaglia, and I
really think it is! Although it’s very
traditional, I wanted every scene to
be filled with wonder and joy.”
A highlight of the Academy’s
Nutcracker is a visit that Clara and
her Prince take to exciting lands each
year. They fly around the world in a
hot air balloon. “It’s really quite spec-
tacular,” comments Battaglia.
This production has
scene after scene of color
and magic. In China a
giant dragon takes cen-
ter stage. In Holland, a
beautiful Butterfly flies
above the sleeping flow-
ers, and at the North Pole,
Santa’s elves are busy
putting finishing touch-
es on holiday toys. The
Snow Scene takes place
in Central Park with an
actual skating rink.
Misa Kuranaga, Principal
Dancer with Boston Ballet andDaniel
Ulbricht, Principal Dancer with New
York City Ballet will perform the lead
roles of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her
Cavalier!
Performances take place at U.B.
Center for the Arts on December 1st
at 1pm and 5pm. Come ear
