CONNetic Dance's Nutcracker Suite and Spicy takes the audience away from Candy Land and Tchaikovsky's classic score by leading them through an ugly sweater party, a Snow Ball and dancing Florettes, all to the music of jazz, hip-hop and tap. It's the third go-round for NS and S, and it happens at the Wadsworth Atheneum's Aetna Theater starting on Dec. 14.
