Students Perform in Ajkun Ballet’s Nutcracker

The Nutcracker is an eternal holiday season favorite, and when a performance troupe brings the ballet to New Rochelle High School this weekend, it will include two elements sure to catch residents' attention: several dozen New Rochelle school children as performers - and a dash of hip hop. The Ajkun Ballet Theatre from Manhattan will present the ballet in NRHS's Whitney Young Auditorium at 7 p.m. Friday and at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday.
