BRAVO to Linda Hurkmans and SJDT!! I just watched the 55th annual Nutcracker and I thought it was beautifully done and very innovative. I loved seeing it done outdoors and the dancers and scenery/locations were just beautiful! Well Done!!! xo

How creative and beautiful this Nutcracker was! Very much enjoyed it! It's been a while since I've seen any dancers from the studio but I did recognize Jules and Twilight, didn't see Natalie. I also enjoyed watching Taunt and Colors. A lot of good things going on at SJDT, Bravo to you all!

Wow, I just watched the new Digital Dance 1 video on the streaming platform. What a beautiful compilation of works by SJDT. I love the professional dancers and the dark stage setting complemented the entire performance. To top it off, no ads, just uninterrupted beautifulness, and excellent streaming quality.

We just watched the 2020 show - beautiful work, everyone - we loved it!

I could not be more proud of how San Jose Dance Theatre has kept the Magic alive in the midst of this pandemic.

Well done Linda Hurkmans and San Jose Dance Theatre! I just finished watching and thought every location was a perfect backdrop for each scene, just so beautiful...Thank you for keeping the Nutcracker tradition going.

Just watched San Jose Dance Theatre's newly reimagined Nutcracker, and it is glorious! If you haven't yet viewed this unforgettable new take on the classic ballet, what are you waiting for?

It is beautiful! I look forward to watching it again after work this evening❤️ Thank you to everyone for their tireless work and effort to make this possible

It was a wonderful show, we really enjoyed it.

I watched this yesterday and it truly got me into the Christmas spirit. I highly recommend it!
