Great talent from visiting artists. Several soloists with tons of talent and experience. A real surprise considering it was a local ballet school core. Very professional and the costumes,sets, music were outstanding.Written on Dec 15 2009

Description
The Center for Performing Arts at Governors State University gracefully presents Salt Creek Ballet's critically-acclaimed production of The Nutcracker, with its magnificent sets, costumes and talented cast of more than 75 dancers from a full range of Chicago suburbs. The production features live music from the 50-piece Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra.
Set to Tchaikovsky’s beloved score, The Nutcracker is a classic fairy tale ballet about young Clara, the debonair Nutcracker Prince, and her fantastic Christmas Eve journey filled with swirling snowflakes, waltzing flowers, giant mice and sugar plum fairies.
Salt Creek Ballet presents professional quality dance programming to Chicagoland audiences, provides high-level performance opportunities for Chicago area dancers, and encourages appreciation and awareness of dance in an underserved area. The Company was established in 1985 as a vision of its Founder/Director Emeritus Patricia Sigurdson, who trained at the prestigious Royal Ballet School in London and in New York City with Frederick Franklin and famous Chicago ballet legend, Robert Joffrey. After dancing professionally with the renowned American Ballet Theatre and Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, Sigurdson assembled a core of professionals and community leaders to develop a strong, vibrant regional ballet company that performs a wide range of classical and contemporary works for tens of thousands of individuals.
Salt Creek Ballet continues to grow under current Artistic Directors Sergey Kozadayev and Zhanna Dubrovskaya, who trained at the famed Vaganova School in St. Petersburg, Russia. Salt Creek Ballet's alumni have become members of The Royal Ballet, Boston Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Colorado Ballet, Orlando Ballet, Washington Ballet, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and Joffrey Ballet. Salt Creek Ballet has a performance company, a dance academy, a summer intensive program and community outreach programs.
