This elegant event only occurs once every two years at the stunning Hoff Family Arts & Culture Center in Council Bluffs. The evening will begin with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, followed by a special live performance of one of the most treasured scenes from The Nutcracker. A delicious dinner will follow in company with American Midwest Ballet’s exceptional professional dancers.
The Nutcracker Gala supports the fabulous work that American Midwest Ballet is doing in our community. Our goal is to raise significant funds to help the company thrive in our mission to inspire people through dance programs of the highest quality: breathtaking performances, enriching education, and uplifting community engagement.
