Columbia Dance’s Nutcracker is Made for Vancouver -📍Vancouver, WA

Columbia Dance’s annual Nutcracker isn’t the typical holiday fare. This uniquely Vancouver production reimagines Tchaikovsky’s classic through the lens of local history, from Fort Vancouver’s fur traders to the Chinook “moon woman” Ilchi. Artistic Director Becky Moore and company dancer Ruby Dyer share how the nonprofit’s mission to enrich lives through dance extends beyond the stage, building community, inclusivity, athleticism, rigor and artistry in every step.🗺️ Visit them at columbiadance.org | Facebook | Instagram👀 For pictures, video, and more, visit the episode page.🎉 This episode also celebrates:Vancouver Symphony OrchestraFort Vancouver National Historic SiteJosh Murry, PhotographerCarlyn Hudson, Choreographer🎧 Other episodes you might like:Vancouver Ballet Folklórico: Bringing the Rhythms of Mexico to Clark CountyEmbracing Creativity, Empowering Youth: Enspire Arts Tackles Clark County’s Arts Education GapSupport the show👋 Sign up for our newsletter.📣  Share your voice on our Community Voices segment.📍 Find more at imintothisplace.com.
