Oregon International Ballet Academy continues its highly acclaimed, annual Nutcracker production! OIBA’s Nutcracker offers a unique and seamless integration of charming and joyful performances by student dancers with stunning appearances from the school’s top performers and surprise guest artists.
With original choreography co-created specifically for OIBA students by Artistic and Executive Director husband and wife team, Xuan Cheng and Ye Li, these young dancers experience not only the joy of professional performance, but also the personal growth associated with the creative process. Many students perform multiple roles in the show with most performing different roles in each performance. A number of parents also participate as party guests, forming memories of dancing with their children onstage they will cherish all their lives.
