In 1993, a small group of dancers from the University of Northern Colorado and an ambitious dance professor created
UNC Dance Theatre.  They put together a number of formal and informal performances.  Their first major production
was 17 years ago, when they performed, “Carmina Burana” with The Greeley Children’s Coral.

In June 1995, this same group of dancers created Colorado Dance Theatre, which brought to our community
performances such as “Carmina Burana”, “Peter and the Wolf”, Les Syllphide”, “Paquita”, “Pas de Quatre”, “Sleeping
Beauty”, "Miranda's Nightmare", and, of course, "The Nutcracker".

In December 1994, UNC Dance Theatre introduced the very first Nutcracker performance to the Greeley community;
again, in collaboration with the Greeley Children’s Chorale.  There were 25 dancers, ages 5 to 34, in this first
production of “The Nutcracker”.

Colorado Dance Theatre’s production of “The Nutcracker” has continued to grow over the years. This past year’s cast
had 140+ dancers, ages 6 to 50+.  Cast members represent many of the local dance studios and educational
institutions in Greeley and the surrounding area.  

Over the years, Greeley has nurtured a strong dance community of both performers and spectators.   Colorado Dance
Theatre is proud to be a large part of this. It is with a great sense of joy – on stage and behind the scenes – that we
are able to bring you each beautiful production of “The Nutcracker”.
