## About

Young children hear the story of The Nutcracker and then act out some of the ballet's best-known moments, moving to Tchaikovsky's music from the show, with guest dancers from Emotions Dance Inc. leading the way. The 45-minute after-school program in the library's Edyth Bush Theatre is designed for ages 3 to 9 and is a playful introduction before seeing a full Nutcracker production in December. Registration is required through the library calendar (library card needed).
