Johnstown Concert Ballet

✨ And just like that… Nutcracker season has begun! ✨

We had SO many incredible dancers audition for this year’s production of The Nutcracker, and we could not be more proud of every student who stepped through our doors tonight. The talent, dedication, and excitement in the room made it clear that this is going to be a very special year.

We are thrilled to introduce our three Claras for 2026:

🩰 Abigail Farabaugh
🩰 Abigail Graham
🩰 Natalie Wojno

Tonight, our 2025 Claras had the beautiful honor of passing The Nutcracker down to our 2026 Claras — a special moment in a tradition that has continued at Johnstown Concert Ballet for generations.

To every dancer who auditioned: we are so proud of you. Your courage to audition, your preparation, and your love for ballet are what make this tradition so special. The future is bright 🌟
