It’s not too late to see Sarasota’s newest contemporary ballet (Azara) perform their holiday show. Tickets are available through December 23 and I guarantee you will be uplifted in spirit after watching their highly talented male and female performers WOW you on stage. The performance is called Short & Suite   and it’s a delightful blend of classical and contemporary ballet performed by a troupe of contemporary ballet dancers presenting a mesmerizing act of Nutcracker Suite excerpts set to contemporary holiday music.

Performed in a small black box theater at the Ovation School of Musical Theatre,  every seat in the house provides and up close and personal view of our talented company of professional dancers. Perfect for all ages and great for an evening out with friends and family. Tickets are $25 (click here)  Performances begin December 20 – December 23. Short & Suite is choreographed by Azara co-founder, Martin Roosaare.
