Irvington Theater is thrilled to welcome Amanda Kupillas Dance back to the stage as they present their rendition of the timeless story of The Nutcracker!

The 11:00am show features delightful excerpts from the beloved classic, reimagined with AKD’s own creative twists and a variety of dance styles. This family-friendly performance highlights the joy and artistry of her younger dancers, while also showcasing select performances from her older students. It’s a wonderful celebration of movement, music, and the hard work each student has put into bringing this holiday story to life!

At 3:30pm is Amanda Kupillas Dance’s first full Nutcracker production with acts! This performance showcases her older and more advanced students in a reimagined interpretation of the classic story — blending tradition with AKD’s signature creativity and range of dance styles. With dynamic storytelling, expressive movement, and a fresh, modern spirit, this Nutcracker celebrates both the timeless magic of the original and the unique voice of Amanda’s studio community.
