URBAN NUTCRACKER
Experience 2021

Set in Atlanta's historic Sweet Auburn community of the ‘40’s -- the production offers a soulful celebration with whimsical characters such as Reggae Ragdolls, the sultry Arabian dance, the spins and leaps of the Black Russians, Mother Spice and her tumbling Spice Drops, the bubbly Coca-Cola Pas de Six, and the elegant Brown Sugar and her Chocolatier. While the contemporary ballet remains true to its classical tradition, Mr. Lucas’ choreography showcases Ballethnic’s signature style -- blending classical ballet with jazz, modern, African, and other ethnic dance. This unique and engaging style creates a fast- paced and upbeat performance which captivates audiences of all ages and cultures.
