At the end of November, the ������ý community gathered for a truly special performance of The Nutcracker, made possible through a collaboration between ������ý College, the ������ý School of Music, the ������ý Area Arts Council, and Ballet Des Moines. More than a professional production, the performance brought 30 local young dancers onto the stage alongside professional ballerinas, creating an experience that celebrated artistry, mentorship, and community connection. With a record-setting audience filling the ������ý High School auditorium, the evening highlighted the power of partnerships and the shared joy of the arts in ������ý.
