Diane Rose Zink’s Nutcracker
Everybody Can DANCE & The Santa Maria Civic Ballet Present Diane Rose Zink’s Nutcracker
A Central Coast Tradition for Over 35 Years!
Did you know Everybody Can DANCE performed the first Nutcracker ballet on the Central Coast? With shower curtain changing rooms and borrowed electricity from Gottchalks, a glorious holiday tradition was born in the Santa Maria Town Center Mall in December 1987. Over 35 annual performances later, Artistic Director Diane Rose Zink has continued to enhance and embellish her production of Tchaikovsky’s glorious ballet as a holiday gift to the community.
Join Everybody Can DANCE and the Santa Maria Civic Ballet for this timeless story of love, bravery, and joy! This year’s production features rising local star Makai Copado as the Nutcracker Prince, and returning ECD alumni Juliet Peck as the Sugar Plum Fairy. Tchaikovsky’s brilliant music and Artistic Director Diane Rose Zink’s intricate choreography take you on a journey through the wonder of first love and the joys of the season!
