Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida presents the return of the classic ballet "The Nutcracker" choreographed and directed by renowned Ballet Master Vladimir Issaev. The Aventura Arts & Cultural Center's stage will be filled with snowflakes, sugarplum fairies, beautiful angels and magical characters, bringing back the charm of the Holidays.

With a cast of 104 on stage, this spectacular production features the professional dancers of Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida performing the principal roles, while local character artists and children and students of the prestigious Vladimir Issaev School of Classical Ballet complete the cast.
The engaging choreography- from the fun of the party scene- to the harrowing battle scene- to the enchanting kingdom of the sweets- is guaranteed to entertain any age. This traditional ballet is performed every year by Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida to Tchaikovsky's popular score based on the tale of Ernest Hoffman. Not only is it the most popular ballet enjoyed by all audiences around the world during this time of the year but it also serves as an introduction to ballet for the very young audiences.

Issaev's choreography preserves the Russian tradition, and serves as an alternative to those who already have seen Balanchine's version.
