With over twenty years of production history, Dance Kids, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is proud of our wide range of theatrical experiences that support kids to flourish. In the early days, productions at the Carmel Ballet Academy included Nutcracker and original spring musicals. Dance Kids was known for fun loving nostalgia surrounding the musicals and drew from the community a range of young people and their families committed to theatre. As we grew, our little venue could not handle the Nutcracker any longer, but continued as the venue for the spring productions, until those too outgrew the dance studio.
We have bravely grown Dance Kids Nutcracker into a spectacular production eagerly awaited by cast and community. The original vision of Dance Kids of Monterey County has been honored as well as surpassed in the ensuing years. The Founder, Executive Director and the Board of Directors are proud to carry the traditions of dance and theatre to the Monterey Peninsula.
Mission Statement
Dance Kids of Monterey County was created to provide ongoing performance opportunities in dance the theater arts to the youth of Monterey County. Our mission is to strengthen character and positively influence children’s lives through the performing arts.
