Aru Dell’Arte Dance Company is bringing The Nutcracker into the 21st century.
Once upon a time – more than magic was about to happen the night before Christmas. This show presents themes of human compassion, love, and friendships while spinning a well-known holiday tale and putting out fun, cool vibes.

Aru Dell’Arte is determined in its mission to bring the Legendary, vibrant story to DMV residents. Moving past outdated scenes from the original Nutcracker, the company is excited to present a vibrant range of characters, elevate female-lead roles, and include a gender-neutral approach in dance partnering.

Christmas Legend was dubbed as a new-era Nutcracker by audiences and national media channels. With premiere shows being SOLD OUT at Cultural DC’s Source Theater, we are excited to bring the show to Silver Spring Spotlight.
