Westchester Ballet Company

Westchester Ballet Company (WBC), one of the oldest regional nonprofit youth ballet companies in the United States, returns to the esteemed Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in the Bronx for a fourth year this December, with its world-class production of The Nutcracker, presented by Montefiore Einstein. The lead Westchester Ballet Company dancers for this year’s The Nutcracker are (left) Elisa Schatz (Clara) and (right) Flavio Lalvay (Nutcracker), a role historically performed by an adult guest artist. This year marks the first time in Westchester Ballet Company’s history that two Latino youth dancers will perform the lead roles. Seventeen year-old Lily Rivera, who performed as Clara in 2022, and Clara and Dew Drop Fairy in 2023, will perform the roles of Snow Queen and Chocolate from Spain this year.

Two matinee performances are open to the general public at 2:00pm on Saturday, December 14 and Sunday, December 15.
