Jump into the Holiday Season with The Dance Along Nutcracker one of San Francisco’s most treasured events that takes place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts on December 19th & 20th. This year theme is "A Dance-Along Toy Story" as Clara & Fritz sneak downstairs to rescue their favorite toys from the donation bin a little holiday magic shrinks them & sends them on a wild adventure through San Francisco. Along the way they meet a rat-wrangling sheriff, a mysterious Pinball Wizard, a crew of Barbies & Kens & plenty of unexpected friends. You’ll waltz, march, pirouette & sing along through it all enjoying music from The Nutcracker ballet, Toy Story, Barbie & other fun childhood favorites performed live by the Official Band of San Francisco the 75-piece San Francisco Pride Band. Part comedy musical, part dance-it-yourself ballet & part symphonic concert the Dance-Along Nutcracker features the holiday fun & tradition you’ve come to expect from this San Francisco favorite of more than 40 years.
