Next Generation Ballet and the Patel Conservatory at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts presents Nutcracker.  Take a family photo with Santa Claus and enjoy carolers in the lobby before being transported to a place where toy soldiers come to life and giant mice dance.  Philip Neal's new dazzling additions to this timeless holiday spectacular make for a magical evening of dance!
