Swingin’ at Club Sweets
By Lindsey Eibergen
Dec/Jan 2007-2008
Slicing yourself a piece of cake for a show that promises to be both the bee’s knees and the cat’s meow? If you’re a little lost in the lingo then brace yourself for a new twist on a time-tested holiday classic. The Studio, Savannah’s premier dance school, presents “Swinging at Club Sweets” an inventive flapper-era rendition of Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker Suite.”
Studio director and lead choreographer Veronica Moretti Niebuhr explains her inspiration for the festive parody. “When I opened the school I wanted to do a December performance, and I noticed that there were about 5 or 6 Nutcrackers playing around town,” she says. “I just thought we needed something fresh that hadn’t been done before. I also wanted to showcase the incredible local talents that we have here in Savannah.”
