A vital part of Wyoming Seminary’s community lies in its Dance Company. Giving students opportunities to learn various dance styles and the community a wonderful sense of enjoyment, there has not been one person who isn’t impacted by the dance in some way. On Wednesday, December 15, Wyoming Seminary Dance Company and their dancers prepared and performed “Nutcracker Sweets” at 7:00 p.m. in the Kirby Center for Creative Arts (KCCA). Highlights from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker included Clara’s dance with the Nutcracker, the snow scene, and many other well-known dances from Act II. Seating was open to all who wished to attend with masking and COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines in mind. Presenting an outstanding performance, Wyoming Seminary is walking forward together, and Wyoming Seminary Dance Company gave the community a beautiful holiday gift through their hard work and dedication for their craft to this holiday tradition.

“With all we have been through these past months, performing the Nutcracker in December was a great experience for our Company.  It was wonderful to dance on the KCCA stage again with an audience there to share and enjoy our work.”  -Bernardine Vojtko, Artistic Director of Wyoming Seminary Dance Company
