Eastern Shore Ballet Theatre is excited to bring our 34th Annual Nutcracker to Delmarva! Since our formation in 1991 over 50,000 school children and generations of families in the lower Eastern Shore have enjoyed the full-length classical ballet productions of Eastern Shore Ballet Theatre, including our annual Nutcracker. Our members gain valuable experience not only in the art of dance, but also in volunteerism and professionalism. Membership is open to any dancer from Delmarva (age 7 and up) who is studying ballet at any dance studio. Many ESBT alumni have gone on to successful careers in dance and choreography across the U.S. We are tremendously excited to announce that construction is underway on our first brick and mortar base of operations, to open in 2025. The space will have a large and a small studio, a dedicated costume workshop and storage space, all under one roof! Every donation we receive on Giving Tuesday helps us improve and elevate our new rehearsal space, making it more professional and better equipped to carry out our mission!
