Welcome to another exciting year of DASSdance’s Seattle City Nutcracker! If this is your first year performing - you are in for a treat! Not only do we have the hard working and amazingly talented students of DASSdance, we are also joined by the DASSdance professional company. Our show includes a flying LED lit Mechanical Doll, a black light AI Robot Battle scene, a jazzy snow scene complete with falling snow and figure skaters (on Heelys), and a land of the sweets that travels across the globe from Qatar to Ukraine, India to China.
Performances will be held at Broadway Performance Hall at 1625 Broadway, Seattle, WA 98122
