An important part of any dancers' training is performing. To supplement our in-class training, the Scripps Performing Arts Academy, and its Youth Ballet Company in residence, presents full length productions twice a year. While the spring production varies, the winter production of "The Nutcracker" is an annual event.
The best part about performing with a youth company is that parts that would normally be reserved for adults or principal dancers are all performed by our talented and technically skilled young dancers.
Regardless of whether you've been dancing for 10 years or you've never danced before, EVERYONE gets a part!
Our annual production of The Nutcracker is a huge community event, regularly selling out the entire weekend. Over the years, through Nutcracker ticket sales, Scripps Performing Arts Company has raised and generously donated over $17,000 to the Scripps Ranch Public Library and close to $20,000 to Isabella's Giraffe Club at UCSD Medical Center.
This is a great opportunity for aspiring dancers to build their performing resume and you don't have to be an SPAA student to participate! Having principle roles on your dance resume for college or company auditions is a great addition and may help you remain competitive!
