The Brown Sugar Nutcracker is a contemporary reimagining of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, blending traditional ballet with global dance cultures. Debuting in 2023 in Boulder, Colorado, this production introduces a vibrant mix of belly dance, hip-hop, salsa, and samba to tell a festive, cross-cultural story. Led by designer and choreographer Georgia Michelle (also cited as Georgia Schmid in some coverage), based in Boulder, CO, the project has quickly built a dedicated following for its accessible, energetic appeal and worldwide flavor.
