For many people, watching the ballet The Nutcracker is their favorite holiday tradition. For some dancers, this is one of the most important roles they can dance. The six-part docuseries On Pointe comes in total to Disney+ on Friday December 18, 2020, just in time for Christmas. The series is produced by DCTV and Imagine Documentaries.
Here’s a quick synopsis:
On Pointe captures a season in New York City’s world renowned School of American Ballet (SAB). Featuring unprecedented access to one of the top youth ballet institutions in the world, the series follows the lives of the students ages 8 to 18 pursuing their dreams to become ballet dancers. While older students from all over the country rigorously train for professional careers, younger students from New York City are put through their paces as they rehearse and perform in New York City Ballet’s holiday classic “George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker®” onstage at Lincoln Center.
