It’s a holiday classic done right by the talented footwork of Charlotte Ballet — formerly North Carolina Dance Theatre. The choreography is courtesy of Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux, and there’s more than 100 performers on stage throughout the magical ordeal that’s complete with some seasonal snowflakes. Charlotte Symphony performs the Tchaikovsky scores. (Anita Overcash)
