The Conservatory of Dance brings a holiday tradition to center stage!

Experience the sparkle, charm and timeless magic of the season as Wilton’s Conservatory of Dance presents its annual production of The Nutcracker.  With a cast of more than 140 dancers, ranging from 5-18 years of age, this year’s performance promises to be a vibrant celebration of youth artistry, dedication and holiday wonder. This year features three Wilton High School seniors — Justine Bonafide, Chloe Finn and Sydney Leinberger.

Audiences can expect a feast for the senses from the festive Christmas Eve party to swirling Snowflakes and the enchanting Land of the Sweets that highlights both the talent and heart of the Conservatory’s community of dancers. The Conservatory of Dance is also pleased to have a few parents stepping into the spotlight this year for charming cameo roles. Their involvement and enthusiasm underscores the studio’s spirit of family and community. For anyone seeking a heartwarming holiday outing, the Conservatory of Dance’s Nutcracker is a must-see event. It’s not just a performance — it’s a celebration of creativity, community and the joy that dance and the holiday spirit brings to children and families alike.

There will be two performances on Sunday, Dec. 14 — 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. — at the Wilton High School Clune Center for Performing Arts.
