A "joyous, daring fusion of the old and the new", Tchaikovsky’s venerable Nutcracker leaps into the 21st Century, reconfigured with Ballet Hip-Hop, African dance and a score that honors the classical element. New Ballet is committed to providing a distinctly multicultural experience for audience members, which coincides with the mission of New Ballet Ensemble & School.

In this modern day ballet (set on Beale Street) the traditional score bows to contemporary rhythms as an exciting Hip Hop battle pits man against mouse, resolving peacefully as snow descends on a surprised Memphis.  Celebrating the diversity of Memphis, the production features the African dance and drumming of West Guinea, thrilling authentic Flamenco and captivating Chinese dance rooted in the traditions of these cultures. Audiences experience the classical ballet of the Sugar Plum juxtaposed with the raw energy of urban dance that has come to be associated with New Ballet.

In it's eighth year, Nut ReMix will be performed at the Germantown Performing Arts Center  to accommodate an enhanced production.
