The most fun and creative version of the holiday classic is back! CONNetic Dance's unique production featuring incredible dancing and a quirky sense of humor takes the classic production and shakes it up and serves it with a twist. Don't miss your chance to add some spice to your holiday season!

In December 2010, CONNetic debuted their fun “Nutcracker Suite and Spicy” at The Aetna
Theatre at The Wadsworth Atheneum. A totally different kind of Nutcracker featuring the
company’s signature style of fusion of athletic dance forms including tap, jazz, and hip hop and seasoned with their signature  sense of humor the production was well received and is undoubtedly becoming a Hartford holiday tradition with it’s high energy Ugly Sweater Party Scene, breath-taking Snow Ball, and high kicking Florettes. All set to a fun compilation of diverse music inspired by Tchaikovsky’s classic score as well as some original compositions by Kenneth Lundquist, Jr. who also plays Drosselmeyer. The show features a beautiful contemporary work of art depicting Hartford landmarks by local artist Ethan Boisvert as the backdrop. As one audience member put it, this production breathed life into a badly beaten deadhorse”
