About The Talent Factory & The Nutcracker Experience
At The Talent Factory, we believe in more than just teaching dance — we build confidence, community, and creativity through the performing arts. For over 22 years, our North Kingstown studio has been a home for young performers to dream big, shine bright, and grow both on and off the stage.
This winter, we’re proud to present a magical production of The Nutcracker, open to all students — whether you're already part of our studio family or joining us for the first time.
This 12-week experience is designed to give dancers of all levels the opportunity to perform in a festive, storybook setting while developing teamwork, stage presence, and a love for performing. No prior dance experience is required — just enthusiasm and a willingness to try something new.
New to The Talent Factory?
You're invited to be part of the magic! Whether your child is a seasoned performer or just discovering the joy of dance, this is the perfect introduction to our warm, supportive, and high-energy community. We’ll guide them every step of the way — from rehearsal to curtain call.
Current students: The Nutcracker is a bonus opportunity beyond your regular Recital. It's designed to enhance your training — not replace your weekly classes.

What Parents Have To Say
My daughter began at Talent Factory four years ago. We have been immensely happy with the level of training and support she has received. Ri is very saturated with dance studios but not all deliver the quality of dance and fosters the mindset children need to grow and be confident in an art that is so highly competitive. The Talent Factory offers a variety of classes and many opportunities for experiences with the highest level of choreographers and teachers. As a former dancer, just watching the recital convinced me this was where I wanted my child to dance.
My daughter participated in a theater summer camp session and she LOVED it! This was her first theater camp (and only second theater experience) and because of how much fun she had here, she's now got the acting bug and is looking for more opportunities to take part in theater. Thank you Talent Factory for inspiring my little one!
