Dancer, director, and cultural force Princess Lockerooo returns with her fiercely reimagined holiday classic, The NutWAACKer: A Dance Concert. The elegance of Tchaikovsky’s classical score meets the glitter and raw energy of New York City’s underground dance culture. Don’t miss this tribute to queer brilliance, street culture, and the city’s electrifying legacies of movement.

Bringing together waacking––a queer dance form nearly lost during the AIDS crisis––with vogue, hip-hop, house, and more, this high-impact performance is a kinetic journey through identity, defiance, and holiday magic told through the eyes of a nonbinary youth navigating tradition, resistance, and chosen family in the heart of Central Park.
