We are bringing a full length multi-evening performance of the traditional Nutcracker Ballet to Panama City FL using only local dancers. We are a nonprofit organization formed in the State of Florida and we currently have ten local studios on board to be part of this groundbreaking endeavor.

Tiffany Swan, our Executive Director, has been in the dance world most of her life – training, dancing professionally, teaching and directing – so bringing this project to life is right up her alley.

*There has never been a full-length classical ballet Nutcracker presented in Panama City or Panama City Beach with ONLY local talent – we aim to correct that!

*Hurricane Michael destroyed ALL of our performance venues and we are ALL struggling to find somewhere affordable to perform.

*Our local dancers have gone on elsewhere to dance professionally and we can give them performance opportunities here at home.

*The Nutcracker will enhance education and child development opportunities.

*We will be increasing community engagements through outreach.

*Our community project will serve as a source of community pride.
