Aiea High School’s dance program will this week stage excerpts from the Nutcracker Ballet.
Performances are set for today, tomorrow and Thursday during the school day. Another performance, 6:30 p.m. Thursday, will be held in a dance studio.
The event, choreographed by dance teacher Desiree Cremer, marks the first staging of a classical ballet at Aiea High — the only public high school in Hawaii that has a formalized dance program. Students study ballet, modern, jazz and ethnic dance at the school.
