Free
a group sits on the floor facing the same direction with their legs in front of them and their arms stretched over head.

Join the artists of New York City Ballet in an exploration of the music, movement, and themes of the treasured holiday classic George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker®.  This one-hour workshop is especially designed for children with physical disabilities and movement disorders (including Dystonia, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, and others). Under the guidance of a medical professional, each participating child will be paired with a volunteer medical student “buddy” who will offer assistance with mobility and stability throughout the workshop. Siblings are encouraged to participate.
