Tara Keating, a former soloist with the Pennsylvania Ballet and current member of BalletX, will perform the lead role of the Sugar Plum Fairy in Dance Theatre of Pennsylvania’s production of The Nutcracker on Dec. 12 and 13 at Central Bucks High School South in Warrington.

Keating, a graduate of the prestigious Juilliard School in New York City, is on the faculty of Dance Theatre’s affiliate school, Budzynski Studios in Plumstead. Her repertoire spans both classical ballet and modern dance. Keating previously danced for choreographer Twyla Tharp’s dance company, “THARP!”, as well as the American Repertory Ballet.

Keating performed with the Pennsylvania Ballet for 10 years, rising from the corps de ballet to soloist in 2003.
