This cherished holiday tradition brings our dance community together for a truly magical experience, and we’d love for you to be a part of it this year.

Who Can Participate?

Participation is open to adult dancers at the Intermediate level and above who are currently taking ballet classes at Artisan. This helps ensure that all performers are prepared, confident, and able to meet the technical and artistic demands of the production.
