We’re still not sure how he survived running in that giant Nutcracker head without taking out a small child, tripping over his boots, or passing out from heat exhaustion… but he did it with style. 😂🎭🏃‍♂️

Huge thank you to JC from for stepping in as our very famous Nutcracker for the Inner-city Neighborhood Art House Art & Sole Mascot Run!

The real question is: does this officially make Nutcracker an athlete now?

What a night ✨

The Art of Dance Soirée was everything we hoped for and more—an evening full of energy, beauty, and a whole lot of heart. From stunning performances to live music, cocktails, and a room full of people who believe in the power of the arts… we are so grateful.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, supported, donated, and celebrated with us. Because of you, we continue to grow, inspire, and bring dance to our community.

We’re still smiling—and maybe still recovering just a little 😉

More moments to come… 💫
