Holiday Classic "Nutcracker" Gets Massive Makeover in Revolution Dance Theatre’s "Hot Chocolate"
New holiday concert set to debut at the Aronoff Center this December
Cincinnati, OH, November 01, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Revolution Dance Theatre, Cincinnati’s first and only African American Dance Ensemble in residence at the Aronoff Center, opens its season with an updated “Nutcracker” experience, “Hot Chocolate” at Aronoff Center for the Arts, Jarson Kaplan Theatre, 650 Walnut Street, Cincinnati, OH, 45202. The classic Nutcracker tale is revisited with dancing dolls, falling snow, and the land of sweets. Surprises ensue, however, with a brand-new story and eclectic choreography set to the more soulful sounds of Christmas. With a brand-new story featuring original music arranged by Cincinnati Young Professionals, “Hot Chocolate” mixes Ballet with Hip Hop, Step and even Musical Theatre elements to create engaging entertainment for the whole family.
A grant from the ArtsWave Young Professionals fund allowed RDT to train and hire a small cohort of Young Professionals for professional theatre experience. Jeremy Griffin has led the charge on creating the original tracks for “Hot Chocolate.” One lucky member from the community will join the truly diverse cast of professional dancers and perform on the Aronoff Center stage. “Hot Chocolate” premieres December 10th and 11th 2021 at the Aronoff Center. Tickets: $32.25 are now on sale at www.RevoDance.com or 513.621.ARTS (2787).

Dec. 10, 8:00 p.m. & Dec. 11, 2:00 p.m. & 8:00 p.m., 2021
