Everybody Can DANCE performed the first Nutcracker ballet on the Central Coast in the Santa Maria Town Center Mall in December 1987. Since then, 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.

This year's production features rising local star Kai Belmonte as the Nutcracker Prince, and Everybody Can DANCE alumni Olivia Hugh and Jordan McCormick as Sugar Plum and her Cavalier.

Start your holidays right with the longest running Nutcracker on the Central Coast. Join Everybody Can DANCE and the Santa Maria Civic Ballet for this timeless story of love, bravery and joy! 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!
