Dance-Along Nutcracker 2011

Clara’s Magical Mystery Tour is a celebration of the music and fantastical design sensibilities of the sixties and seventies. Peter Max, black light posters, lava lamps, The Beach Boys, Motown, girl groups, The Beatles, folk music, funk, DAN: CMMT showcases it all, while telling Clara’s story set against San Francisco’s Summer of Love. The ‘Dance-Along’ sign flashes on the wall, and most of the audience piles onto the dance floor and feels the love during impromptu dances to for everyone who’s there to witness it. Described by the San Francisco Chronicle’s C.W. Nevius as “inspired foolishness, tomfoolery on a grand and witty scale,” the Dance-Along Nutcracker® lets the audience concoct its own choreography beneath the psychedelic spotlights. And the wallflowers dig it as much as the dancers! So get with it, man! Pull out your tie-dye threads, your peace medallion and your rose-colored aviator glasses as the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band takes you on a far out trip! Clara’s back and she’s dancing in Day-glo when the Nutcracker takes her on a psychedelic journey through the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
