Bollywood "Nutcracker"

"Nutcracker" comes early to India, as dancers from New Jersey Ballet bring excerpts from the company's classical staging to the newly opened National Center for the Performing Arts in Mumbai. The performances, Saturday and Sunday, September 22 and 23, will feature New Jersey Ballet principal dancers Saule Rachmedova and Tuvshin Bold, along with Michelle deFremery, Sergio Amarante, Jeffery Hover and Vladimir Roje and children from Shaimak Davar's Institute for Performing Arts in Mumbai. Aidar Torybaev will conduct the Symphony Orchestra of India.

After their return home, the dancers will begin rehearsing for New Jersey Ballet's repertory performances and for the statewide tour of its acclaimed “Nutcrackers," which marks its 36th anniversary this season.
