The beloved holiday classic with a Minnesota twist returns to Ames Center this December! New this year, TCB is excited to premiere its Minnesota-focused vision for the Mother Ginger dance, which features a custom-designed and built Mississippi Riverboat. This addition continues the vision of TCB to center the story in Minnesota while maintaining the essential traditions and music many love. The result is a fresh, vibrant, and monumentally Minnesota take on the beloved holiday classic.
Deemed one of the 12 essential holiday events by MPR, A Minnesota Nutcracker is delightful entertainment for the whole family!

About Twin Cities Ballet. Twin Cities Ballet of Minnesota (TCB) is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit professional ballet. TCB’s mission is to connect and enrich communities by making ballet approachable, relatable, and fun, through professional and original productions and educational outreach. TCB creates original full-length story ballets as well as more abstract and contemporary works. TCB is also the first ballet company in Minnesota to develop and present Sensory Relaxed performances for families and those with sensory sensitivities, making the art of ballet accessible for many who might not otherwise be able to do so.
These activities are made possible by the voters of Minnesota through an Operating Support grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
