Nutcracker Magic: Storytime, Ballet & Holiday Fun

Join Dance Victoria and the Greater Victoria Public Library (GVPL) for a special Nutcracker-themed storytime, perfect for families and little ones excited to experience the magic of this beloved holiday classic.

The morning begins with a reading of The Nutcracker by GVPL staff, followed by a special visit from dancers of the Victoria Academy of Ballet, dressed in their beautiful Nutcracker costumes! Meet the dancers, learn about their costumes, and discover the magic of ballet through an interactive presentation and show-and-tell.

Then, it's time to get moving! Little ones can join in a festive dance party and capture special holiday memories with photo opportunities alongside the dancers.

Light refreshments will be available.

This event is FREE, but RSVP is required. Space is limited to 60 participants in total, including children and their accompanying parents or guardians. Please ensure everyone attending is included in your registration.

Continue the holiday magic as Dance Victoria presents Royal Winnipeg Ballet's Nutcracker, accompanied by the Victoria Symphony, November 27–29, 2026, at the Royal Theatre!

Featuring a hockey game, Mounties, polar bears, reindeer, and a battle on Parliament Hill, Royal Winnipeg Ballet brings the wintertime classic we all love to life with a distinctly Canadian twist!
