The Nutcracker Comes To Life At 4S Ranch Library With Live Ballet

4S RANCH, CA — A beloved holiday classic will come to life at the 4S Ranch Library when dancers from 4S Dance Academy join a special Nutcracker Storytime on Monday, Nov. 16.

The free program will take place from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the library, 10433 Reserve Drive, San Diego.

Families will have an opportunity to experience "The Nutcracker" through a combination of storytelling, ballet costumes and live dance excerpts performed by dancers from the local academy.
