The Nutcracker Ballet Salem MA | Greater Salem Ballet Company

Experience the magic of the holiday season with The Greater Salem Ballet Company, whose mission is to allow dance students to perform locally in professional quality productions while learning in a warm, encouraging, and nurturing environment. This beloved North Shore ballet company brings the timeless holiday classic to life each December, creating cherished memories for families throughout Salem and beyond.

The Holiday Tradition Continues

Each year, over 115 North Shore children and adult volunteers take the stage at the beautiful Lynn Auditorium for this spectacular production of The Nutcracker. Follow Clara on her magical journey through the Land of Sweets, watch the battle between mice and soldiers, and marvel at the growing Christmas tree complete with falling snow. From the graceful Sugar Plum Fairy to the dazzling Kingdom of Sweets, this traditional production captures all the wonder of Tchaikovsky’s beloved ballet.

Perfect Holiday Entertainment

Led by directors Seanna Chmura and Susan Byrne, who bring 25 years of experience in producing intricate winter productions, the company delivers professional-quality performances in a nurturing environment. Young dancers from Salem, Lynn, Danvers, Peabody, Beverly, Marblehead, Swampscott, and surrounding communities participate, with special guest appearances by professional dancers.
