Because it’s a cheerful holiday tradition and a chance for younger artists to build some performance experience, many dance companies put on their own version of The Nutcracker each year.

This weekend, Ballet Austin will stage the world premiere of The Mozart Project, a three-part production celebrating the music of a master.

With the help of Graham Reynolds, DJ Spooky and Dr.

As part of the Dance Film Series, a partnership between Austin Film Festival and Ballet Austin, you can catch Center Stage on the big screen this Sunday and, directly afterward, attend a beginner's Ballet class at the studio.

This weekend marks the world premiere of Stephen Mills' The Magic Flute, an original ballet that combines innovative scenery, costumes and choreography with Mozart's classic operatic score.
