Dmitri Kulev Classical Ballet Academy would like to invite you to a very special evening to experience the magic of The Nutcracker Ballet, led by artistic directors Dmitri and Jennifer Kulev.

The Nutcracker Ballet was first performed in 1892 at the Mariinsky Theatre in Russia, made its way to the United States in 1940 and was debuted by the San Francisco Ballet. Now a tradition during the Holiday Season, we would like to have you join us for this beloved Ballet and experience the magical story of young Marie, the Mouse King and the Nutcracker Prince.

This year we are proud to have Principal Dancer, Tiit Helimets, from the San Francisco Ballet perform the role of the Nutcracker Prince. Tiit is joined by the students that attend Ballet classes at Dmitri Kulev Classical Ballet Academy from Elementary, Middle and High Schools from our local community including Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Dana Point, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Beach and Newport. A few of these students are also apprentice dancers for the Orange County Ballet Theatre.
