Winter Dance Term #1 - November 07, 2026 to January 18, 2027
The Chocolate Nutcracker: An Afro-Caribbean Experience - Ages 5 to 17
Canada is a unique blend of rich culture—flavourful food, vibrant style, music, dance and proud traditions. The Chocolate Nutcracker celebrates this by fusing Tchaikovsky’s classical music with Afro-Caribbean heritage.
Through creative workshops (students separate when learning routines based on ages and levels), youth reimagine famous scenes from the popular Ballet by exploring cultural sounds, movement, and storytelling rooted in the Black & Afro-Caribbean Canadian experience. Styles include:
Soca, Bhangra, Reggae & Dancehall, Amapiano & Afrobeats, Step Dance, Hip Hop, Breakdance, Lyrical, Contemporary African Drumming, Steel Pan and more!
***Special guest artists, musicians, choreographers & more***
The program ends with a showcase including youth-led performances, bridging the shared values of the traditional Nutcracker, African and Caribbean cultures and the Black diaspora to honour both classical and cultural influences in Canada.
$230 - Program Fee
$20 - Program Gift for Performers
