Nutcracker Workshops


Prepare to shine this holiday season with our Nutcracker Workshop Series!

Open to dancers ages 3-18, these workshops are designed to help students master choreography and technique from the beloved Nutcracker repertoire,

building confidence and readiness for auditions.


Led by experienced instructors, the workshops offer age-appropriate training and hands-on coaching for roles ranging from party guests and soldiers to the Sugar Plum Fairy’s court. Whether you’re new to the stage or an experienced performer, this is the perfect opportunity to develop your skills and immerse yourself in the magic of Tchaikovsky’s timeless ballet.

Reconnect with friends and prepare for the auditions!✨

Here’s what to expect:

✨Interactive storytelling and

beginner movement for ages 3-6.

✨Polished technique and role-specific

choreography for ages 7-12.

✨Advanced coaching, solo variations, and

corps de ballet work for ages 13-18.

This is your chance to join the magic of the Nutcracker, gain valuable performance experience, and make lifelong memories. Spots are limited, so register today and take your first step toward the stage!

What are your tuition policies?

We offer 3 payment plans: monthly, semesterly, and yearly. The first and last months of tuition are due at the time of registration. For Conservatory dancers, 30 days of notice must be given to withdraw from the program and tuition must be paid for the full 30 days before the financial agreement is absolved in lieu of paying the first and last months at the time of registration (due to the higher tuition rates). Tuition can be paid by dropping a check into the lockbox at the studio or signing up for auto-pay with your credit card (subject to 3.5% convenience fee). There is a $25 late fee for any payments more than 10 days late. 

Are parents required to stay?

As long as children are toilet-trained, parents are not required to stay during their child's classes. However, we would be pleased to welcome you in our lobby or cafeteria spaces with free wifi!

What are the performance opportunities?

Prima is proud to provide two high-quality performance opportunities per year to our students. Every student can audition in August to participate in The Nutcracker in December. In lieu of a recital, we do a Spring Ballet each year that all students can elect to participate in.
