Beautiful Ballerinas and Dazzling Snowflakes
For the past two year's our family has had an opportunity to go see our daughter's best friend perform in a Nutcracker Ballet. My kids truly enjoyed the magical story of Clara, who dreams that her new toy soldier nutcracker has come alive. The adventure kept my kids occupied as they watched Clara and the Nutcracker dance through an epic battle with the Rat King only to end up in the Sugar Plum Fairy's magical Land of Sweets.
I believe in exposing my children to high culture. And I believe that high culture should be available for all. Unfortunately, most of the live performances are pretty expensive here in San Diego. Without a connection to Girl Scouts or other group discounts the price for a family of 4 can be too much. Thus, I lobby for more community out reach programs for all live performances.
Here is a list of our family's favorite holiday performances in San Diego:
Nutcracker Ballet:
- San Diego Academy of Ballet: Nutcracker
- California Ballet: Nutcracker
- City Ballet: Nutcracker
- San Diego Ballet: Nutcracker

I hope you are able to go and see one live show this season! It would be lovely to hear about your favorite live shows!
