Snowflakes at top left and bottom right of page. English Translation: The Nutcracker Princess It's Christmas Eve, and Clara is looking forward to going to her community's magical Christmas fair. Lady Drosselmeyer greets vendors bearing sweets and gifts, including a charming Nutcracker stand. The magic of the fair begins with the lighting of the tree, and Clara discovers a special Nutcracker: a dancing princess. Clara receives the Nutcracker Princess as a gift to inspire her dance. Upon returning home, she falls asleep, and at midnight, the noise of the mice wakes her up. Magic envelops her: the tree grows as she shrinks, and the Nutcracker Princess appears transformed. Together, they meet Christmas sweets and gifts, which come to life in a dazzling spectacle. At the end, a snowstorm begins that brings Clara back home, waking up next to her Nutcracker Princess, remembering an inspiring dream. Nutcracker drawing along right side of page.

Part 2: Working with nonprofits for over a decade + her ​lifelong love of 🩰 inspired our artistic director, Ana, to create #BalletTico.

“I have always said that #ballet changed my life, so I have always found it very necessary to be able to give the opportunity to others.”

Part 1: Meet our founder & artistic director, Ana.

“I felt a need to find ways for #ballet to resonate with people who have never been close to ballet, who have had the idea of dancing, who have had difficult experiences, to find a place that is more positive & welcoming to everybody.”
