Calling all past, present, and future Dance Wisconsin Nutcracker dancers, families, friends, and supporters!
Whether you danced on our stage years ago, are preparing to audition for the first time, or simply love supporting the arts, we'd love to welcome you to the studio for an afternoon of creativity, connection, and celebration.
As we prepare for our upcoming Nutcracker season, we're bringing together generations of our Dance Wisconsin family to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, share favorite backstage memories, and help inspire the next generation of performers.
“Super Fun” Fused Glass Art Workshop
Join a hands-on fused glass workshop led by the talented Lucie Arendt of www.LucieArt.com and create a beautiful custom piece of art to keep or give as a gift.
Perfect for ages 7 and up!
• Great for dancers of all ages: children, teens, and adults.
• No experience needed, if you can have fun, you are already qualified.
• All tools needed are included—glass, tools, safety gear, expert instruction.
• After the event, each piece will be professionally kiln-fired and ready for pickup at our Nutcracker auditions (September 13, 1-4 PM).
Your Gift Goes Twice as Far
Lucie has generously donated all of the workshop materials and has also pledged to match every donation made during the event. The actual value of each glass project is $29, and, thanks to Lucie's generosity, participation is available through your donation.
Suggested donation: $20 (or more).
Every dollar supports Dance Wisconsin's upcoming performances, costumes, sets, scholarships, and programming—and because of the matching gift, your donation has double the impact.
Looking Ahead
Nutcracker Auditions: Sunday, September 13, 2026, from 1:00 – 4:000 PM.
You'll be able to pick up your finished fused glass masterpiece when you come to auditions!
