Every great Nutcracker has a story, and this year, we’re dreaming a little bigger!

Emerald Ballet Academy is raising $27,350 to bring a full choir and live orchestra, conducted by the internationally acclaimed David Waltman, to our upcoming Nutcracker production.

Founded by Viktoria Titova, our academy is a welcoming community where dancers of all ages grow, build confidence, and discover the joy of performing. This season, we hope to give our dancers the extraordinary opportunity to perform alongside professional musicians while offering our audiences an even richer theatrical experience. It’s an ambitious goal, but with the support of our wonderful community, we believe we can make it happen. Every contribution brings us one step closer to making this special collaboration a reality.

Thank you for believing in our dancers and in the arts that bring us together
