Yes, it’s another local production of Tchaikovsky's classic Christmas ballet, but with a contemporary twist. Peninsula Ballet Theatre, along with dancers from Tribe and Poise’n, will perform the “The Hip Hop Nutcracker,” in which Clara journeys from Scotland to Hip Hop Land, meets the Sugar Plum Tribe, pops and locks rather than pirouettes, and dances to a mashup of classical and modern sounds, Friday, Dec. 16, at 7 p.m. at the Fox Theatre, 2215 Broadway St., Redwood City. Tickets are $20. Go to Fox Theatre.
