About
The Jill M. Taylor Dance Company invites families to experience the magic of the holiday season at its 17th annual production of The Nutcracker.
This full-length classical ballet brings together talented dancers from Rolesville, Wake Forest, Raleigh, and surrounding Triangle communities, alongside two professional guest artists; Mari Takayama and Louis DeFelice, joining us from New York City and London. Audiences will enjoy beloved characters, beautiful dancing, and a live school choir featured in the magical Snow Scene.
Guests are also invited to visit our Nutcracker Boutique, featuring holiday gifts and keepsakes, and enjoy refreshments and sweet treats from our concessions stand. These additional offerings are available for purchase.
The production is family-friendly and welcomes audiences of all ages, making it a wonderful holiday outing for children, parents, and grandparents alike. Performance tickets are required and can be purchased online in advance.
