Rock School students dance the classic story with magical snowfall and the Waltz of the Flowers, and this year the production adds an animated backdrop. Light narration helps young children follow the story, and the school describes the performance as inclusive and sensory-friendly, so it works well as a first ballet for preschoolers and for children who find a full-length Nutcracker too long or too loud. Three performances are scheduled: Saturday December 5 at 11:30 am and 4 pm, and Sunday December 6 at 11:30 am. Tickets start at $10 and are sold through Ensemble Arts Philly; groups can call Ensemble Arts Sales for a discount on tickets above $10. ## Similar picks in Philadelphia - [The Enchanted Nutcracker — The Rock School for Dance at Goodhart Hall, Bryn Mawr](https://grassyknees.com/philadelphia/activities/the-enchanted-nutcracker-the-rock-school-for-dance-at-goodhart-hall-br--listing-19b3fd774daa2eca1da1545a) — Sat, Dec 12 (+1 more date) · 11:30 AM · Goodhart Hall, Bryn Mawr College · All ages · From $10 · checked Oct 24.
