Performances
The Conservatory of Dance School is performance based. There are four performance periods each year. The Conservatory of Dance performs regularly at the Saint Mary's O'Laughlin Auditorium and South Bend Civic Theater in collaboration with Conservatory of Dance Company. Additional Company performances are given in other venues such as Century Center, Clay High School, Art Beat, Mishawaka Summer Fest, various retirement assisted living centers, and several elementary schools within the South Bend School Corporation. The heavy performance schedule means that rehearsals are a part of the School timetable from the first day of the year to the last.

Contemporary Nutcracker
A Fairy Tale For the Modern World
A family friendly performance for all ages. Our version of the Nutcracker does not use the traditional Tchaikovsky score, yet the storylines are similar. In our story, Klara is a homeless girl living in today's busy world with the hustle and bustle of people preparing for the holiday season. Klara is offered a gift of a broken Nutcracker doll found in the trash by another homeless person, Herr Drosselmeyer. Drosselmeyer casts a magic spell where Klara dreams of a Mouse Queen who battles with the Nutcracker. The Nutcracker transforms into a prince and takes Klara to visit the Sugar Plum Fairy and her kingdom. Along the way there are dancing snowflakes, graceful fairies, and waltzing flowers. The kingdom celebrates Klara's visit with costumes and dances from around the world. There are dances from China, Russia, Spain, Turkey, and our Native America. The Sugar Plum Fairy dances as well. Through the magical strength that Drosselmeyer gave her, Klara discovers that even a small kindness can make a difference. Klara finds her family with the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Prince. In the end, Klara teaches us that all people are special, no matter if they seem different or unimportant.
Performance duration is anticipated at 105 minutes.
