About North Atlanta Dance Theatre and The Nutcracker
North Atlanta Dance Theatre (NADT) is one of the Atlanta metro area's most respected performing arts organizations, with a deep commitment to classical ballet and a reputation for producing high-caliber, professionally staged performances. The company draws from a roster of dedicated student and pre-professional dancers who train rigorously to deliver performances that rival productions found in major metropolitan arts centers across the country.
The Nutcracker is NADT's signature production and the centerpiece of its annual performance season. The ballet follows young Clara through a magical Christmas Eve journey — from the warmth of a family celebration to the enchanted Land of Sweets — accompanied by Tchaikovsky's iconic score. NADT's production features elaborate costumes, full set design, and live orchestral accompaniment that transforms Gas South Theater into a winter wonderland for the evening.
For Atlanta families, The Nutcracker (North Atlanta Dance Theatre) is a genuine holiday tradition. Many attendees return year after year, watching dancers grow into more demanding roles and experiencing the magic of live ballet in an intimate community setting that larger touring productions simply cannot replicate.
