The Nutcracker Tea was started in 2014 by Danceworks founder, Jennifer Stevens, to give the community a glimpse into the Nutcracker Ballet. Her hope was to bring families together and to spread a little Christmas Cheer.

We unexpectedly lost Miss Jennifer in 2018. While we miss her everyday, we joyfully continue her legacy through the Nutcracker Tea.

A portion of the proceeds of this special event goes to the Jennifer Stevens Memorial Scholarship that was started in her honor. Choreographing 27 musicals, she was a blessing to the Waxahachie Theatre Department and entire community. The scholarship goes to a graduating dancer or chorus member of the theatre department each year to help fund their future education and endeavors. We invite you to join us in honoring Miss Jennifer's legacy.
