Productions

The Nutcracker

      Children and adults have been fascinated with the tradition and fantasy of The Nutcracker for decades, and North Shore School of Dance is proud to present an annual production every December.  Hopeful dancers from the North Shore and surrounding suburbs audition in September, and over 50 are cast, including adults and professional dancers.  The hour long ballet is appropriate for children of all ages, and it sells out every year.

      The holiday spirit is present at the event with boxes to donate to Toys for Tots, and a Nutcracker Boutique selling themed jewelry, snow globes, and handmade nutcrackers.

      For more information about auditions and/or tickets please call 847-432-2060.

In May, pre-dance division students (ages 3-6) will have the opportunity to showcase what they have learned throughout the year in an informal stage performance.  Dancers are provided with a tutu and headpiece that is included in your class registration fee.

Get your tickets early and don't forget your video cameras.  We ask you to remember that there is no flash photography during performances as it is dangerous and distracting to the dancers.

Spring Concert

Dancers in the student division perform choreography that they learn in their weekly classes in a formal on stage performance, complete with costumes and professional lighting.  Participation is optional and additional participation and costume fees do apply. 

Please remember that no video cameras or flash photography are permitted in the theatre.  Professional videos of each performance will be available for purchase.
