Bursting with energy and excitement, State Street Dance Studio's The Fox Valley Nutcracker is a popular holiday tradition for audiences of all ages. Set to the cherished Tchaikovsky score, the ballet tells the timeless coming-of-age story of Clara, a young girl who receives a wooden nutcracker as a Christmas gift, setting off a magical midnight journey through the heat of battle, the cool beauty of a snowy wonderland and the delightfully sweet kingdom of the Sugar Plum Fairy. The Fox Valley Nutcracker showcases students and families from State Street, as well as other local dance studios and professional dancers.
