BBT’s version of the Nutcracker departs from the usual winter fairy tale that is
seen in American ballet theatres. “Our performances are highly supported by the
New York cultural community,” said Irina Roizin, President of BBT. “This
production will portray the beautiful international diversity of New York with
dances representing the countries of Spain, Nigeria, China, India, France and
Russia. The ballet culminates in the Land of Freedom rather than the traditional
Land of Sweets.”
BBT is dedicated to providing the highest quality dance education for children
and adults. It is a well-established cultural center that has been in existence
for 23 years with more than 500 students attending each year. BBT's curriculum
includes ballet (Russian method), character dance, modern and
popular dance, latin and ballroom dance,
and folk dance. BBT provides all children with a
unique opportunity to perform full-scale ballets, with costumes and scenery.
