Who We Are
Ballet Embody, Carroll County's professional ballet company, returns to the stage with their original holiday classic, The Maryland Nutcracker!
Enjoy this holiday tradition, Maryland-style.
​That's right, a sprinkle of Wintry Mix and a dash of Old Bay will be featured among many other Maryland landmarks and past times.
Word on the Street
You've done it again!! The Maryland Nutcracker was a superb performance. The professionalism shows as each show takes the level of entertainment up another notch. The cast polishes up brighter each year. Our family has a long, almost 30 year, history of attending and performing in Nutcrackers and it never gets old. It is refreshing to see the originality that the Maryland theme brings. This has always been a great way to herald in the Christmas spirit. Seeing the reactions of my young nieces and their excitement as they discover the magic keeps the dream alive. We always look forward to the next show.

I absolutely recommend Ballet Embody's performances. I brought friends who had not previously been exposed to ballet. I think it was a wonderful introduction.
