Uptown Dance Academy is excited to announce that they have returned to Harlem and are continuing the legacy with their 30th Annual Harlem Black Nutcracker on December 17, 2024, at Aaron Davis Hall, Marian Anderson Theater, 129 Convent Avenue, New York, NY 10027. In honor of this momentous occasion, Artistic Director, Robin Williams, has produced a full ballet of the Harlem Nutcracker. For Robin Williams, dance - specifically ballet - is the highest form of artistry, with every sway and pirouette opening the gateway to an ethereal universe of passion, dedication, and beauty. Ignited by her lifelong infatuation with dance, Robin established Uptown Dance Academy (UDA), a premier destination for aspiring performers from urban areas.

Born in Detroit, Michigan, Robin started dancing at the age of five, making it her mission in life to enrich humanity with the power of ballet. “When we started in 1996, I didn’t even realize how big of an opportunity it would provide for aspiring dancers. Back then, very few kids of color would get accepted into specialized schools. UDA bridged these gaps, helping youth thrive in a multicultural, supportive, and educational environment.” -Robin Williams
