About the Show

A contemporary twist on a holiday classic.

Clara’s Trip is an entertaining fusion of gravity-defying cirque, athletic dancing and a timeless story that is a treat for the entire family.

Clara has grown up to be a kind and energetic young lady who loves to dance but is a little clumsy. While dancing at Mr. and Mrs. Flowers' holiday party, she trips over her own feet and is whisked off to the hospital to learn that her ankle is broken. That night Clara dreams that her foot is healed allowing her to dance like she has never before with surprises from her friends.

Y'all Weekly by Jesse Kimmel: “The format is certainly recognizable, but the story, the acting, the dance, and the acrobatic feats are fresh and surprising.”

CVNC by Michelle Medina-Villalon: “Clara's Trip makes for an exhilaratingly fun night for families of all ages."
