Oregon International Ballet Academy kicks off the holiday season with their highly-acclaimed rendition of “The Nutcracker” in two performances at the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts. A beloved seasonal tradition, OIBA’s Nutcracker seamlessly integrates charming and joyful performances by student dancers with breathtaking appearances from the school’s top performers and professional guest artists from Oregon Ballet Theatre. This year’s Nutcracker production also features guest artists from the celebrated dance and performance studio Casa de Arte (Kumamoto, Japan) who will be dancing side-by-side with OIBA students as part of OIBA’s cultural exchange program. The result is a high-quality, cohesive, and exhilarating experience that delivers non-stop holiday magic!
