Lavish costumes and exuberant choreography mesmerize audiences in Westside Ballet of Santa Monica's rendition of this holiday classic.

Take a trip with Clara to a magical world of dancing snowflakes, Spanish chocolate, and a dashing prince. From the Victorian-style party scene to the glittering Sugar Plum Fairy, it's the traditional full-length ballet in two acts set to Tchaikovsky's majestic score as performed live by the Santa Monica Symphony Orchestra.

A holiday tradition since 1973, Westside Ballet's Nutcracker is the longest running in Los Angeles history.

Kids 2 and under sit on Mom's lap for free.
