35. The Nutcracker Part 1

For the next 2 weeks we are sharing a sneak peek into our popular Nutcracker course for kids ages 2-8.  You are in for a treat, this music and story and interactive way that we share it with young kids is so much fun! Inside the course is an immersive experience with Tchaikovsky’s iconic ballet. You and your kids will be experiencing the story and music of the Nutcracker through songs, games, active listening, instrument playing, and using your imagination right alongside Ms. Elizabeth and her daughter Charlotte.
