A local Whitsunday professional dance school is taking its students to the stage for a classic Christmas performance next weekend.
Adore Dance will perform ‘The Nutcracker’ at the Bowen Summergarden Cinema on Saturday, December 3, telling the story of one girl's journey to a magical land on Christmas Eve.
Following Clara, a girl gifted with a Nutcracker doll by her Uncle Drosselmyer, a magical toy maker, the Nutcracker “brings Christmas to life”.
When Clara falls asleep that evening, she awakes to a new world, one filled with the sounds of battle as the Mouse Queen fights against the Nutcracker Prince for control of the kingdom.
Clara and her new toy, The Nutcracker, then visit the land of the snowflakes, flowers, and sweets where Clara can't believe her eyes.
Soon, the tale comes to a climactic finale, and it is time for everyone to bid Clara and the Nutcracker Prince farewell. The tale of adventure is one of ballet’s most famous and impressive performances, and the Whitsunday-based studio is up for the task.
Bowen Summergarden Cinema owner Ben De Luca said the performance is a perfect way to ring in the Whitsunday’s Christmas season.
