"Every season young dancers around the world come together to perform the time honoured tradition of The Nutcracker. As I reflect back this season, I am overwhelmed and in awe of the support by our community and the hard work of all those participating in the production. To say thank you would simply not be enough, no words can truly capture my gratitude. The talent of our local youth is truly amazing! It has been so rewarding to watch each dancer, from the smallest mouse to the to the tallest snowflake dedicate themselves to their roles and share their love of dance with all of us. There have been so many heartfelt moments shared together in rehearsals. Friendships old and new coming together for a common purpose, supporting and encouraging one another. Parents, artists & artisans working together behind the scenes to bring the vision of this production into reality. Professional Guest Artists, mentoring and inspiring the future generation of dancers. Alongside the joy and passion came much dedication and determination. Students, families and staff have all made many sacrifices in order to prepare in such a short amount of time. Without the hours of fundraising efforts, our wonderful SCYDA board members, the amazing choreographers and instructors or the generous donations from our community, none of this could have become a reality.    As we embark on our 5th season, I would like to sincerely thank you  all for sharing this journey with us each season.

The Sunshine Coast Youth Dance Association is a non profit society established to support the young dancers/students of the Sunshine Coast and to foster the love of dance as a fine art form through the avenue of a community dance experience. Our goal is to provide a fair and healthy dance experience uniting the Sunshine Coast dancers/students, teachers and local dance schools in an environment where respect, fairness and unbiased opportunity to all parties can thrive. SCYDA looks to foster and facilitate dance education opportunities through mentorship from local, national, and international professionals for all SCYDA dance student members. One of our goals is to be able to provide members monetary bursaries & scholarships to promote and encourage local dance students to further their education. The past two years we were thrilled to provide scholarships to some of our members at the Coastal Dance Festival. These scholarship recipients are chosen by the festival's adjudicators. We are pleased to present the fourth annual Sunshine Coast Nutcracker. The board and members of SCYDA can’t wait to share the production with you.
