Metamorphosis Dance’s reimagining of The Nutcracker follows young Clara, an aspiring ballerina who dreams of traveling the world like her beloved Aunt Vivian. At the family’s holiday party, Aunt Vivian arrives with a troupe of dancers—including a charming young assistant who quickly captures Clara’s attention. With her mother’s encouragement but against her father’s wishes, Clara dares to follow her heart, joining the assistant and her aunt on a whirlwind tour that celebrates the beauty and traditions of diverse cultures. As she journeys across the globe, Clara must ultimately choose between love and family, all set to Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s timeless Nutcracker Suite.

Excerpts from Snow White and Sleeping Beauty “Aurora’s Wedding” presented at the Round Rock Public Library, Round Rock. TX. Free to the public performance as part of RR Library’s Story Time at 6:30pm.

Snow White presented at the Penfold Theater.

Inspired by the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, Snow White is reimagined through expressive choreography that brings inner forces to life. Pride, Envy, and the Queen’s growing darkness take human form, while the forest itself transforms from a place of terror to one of refuge. After betrayal, mourning, and a vigil kept by ravens and maidens, love ultimately breaks the spell that once bound the kingdom. This richly layered ballet weaves innocence, courage, and redemption into a haunting and hopeful retelling where light overcomes darkness.

Performances will be Friday, April 10 at 7:30pm; Saturday, April 11 at 2:30pm and 7:30pm.
