Press Release: Ballet Pixelle Presents "The Nut"

Ballet Pixelle® will present its special "The Nut" ballet opening on Sunday, December 2rd 2017 at 5:00 pm.

This is the TWELVTH (12) YEAR anniversary for Ballet Pixelle to present "The Nut", which premiered in 2007!  Come see our new costumes and enjoy a new surprise!

Ballet Pixelle performs its version of the Nutcracker, using Artistic Director Inarra Saarinen's own animations and choreography, and utilizing some of the particular attributes of virtual reality.   "The Nut" is Ballet Pixelle's essence of The Nutcracker so you can see just the wonderful, and our truly original, dances.

Does Clara become the Princess to her Nutcracker as he becomes the Prince of her dreams?  We see mysterious dances in the white castle.  Arabian dancers fly in on magic carpets.  A Russian cossack stamps out a dance.  Russian dolls roll and play.  Chinese empresses and emperors move on delicate feet, and Spanish senoritas and senoras throw themselves flamboyantly.  A field of flowers waltz together.  And even snowflakes dance!

Performances are Wednesdays at 5:00 pm and Sundays at 5:00 pm SLT throughout December in the Ballet Pixelle Theatre.

Audience dancing at the after-show party every performance!

Join us for an evening of classic, and yet new, holiday delights.  Come early to receive your free Victorian party gown or tuxedo and dance on the luxurious set!  Chat with the performers and crew after the performance for autographs, photos, and a question & answer session.

More Skating and Winter Fun: Areo Pines Park and Holiday Village

Today Gemma Cleanslate offers what will be her final Xmas and winter fun locations article before Christmas. She stopped by one popular year-round location, Areo Pines Park, to see what they had. Not surprisingly, the location known for it's horseback riding had horse-drawn sleigh rides, but there was much more than that. She also stopped by Winter Holiday Village, just in time for a celebration. And the place had much more to offer once the party was over.
