Love your theme!!
There's a lot you can work with - dance accessories like pom poms, musical notes, dress up things like feathers and sparkly necklaces. Love the ballet shoes idea.
It's never too early to think of a theme! Every
Purim, I try to think of a theme for next year while I'm still in the "mode" and inspired by other people's cute ideas.

So when we got married I had a whole list of ideas that either connected with our last name, or just really cute ideas that I want to do eventually. I have a list of looootttssss of ideas and kinda wish purim came more often😂 I'm pretty creative and I love that this yt let's my creative juices flow!

The nutcracker is an xmas theme.

Not any moreso than snowmen with candy canes, I would think?

The Nutcracker ballet itself is very tied to that season but isn’t religious at all. In fact, all the dancing sweets (sugar plums, coffee, candy canes, etc.) make a gift basket theme unto themselves.

I get the hesitation/sensitivity, but it’s not like Santa Claus or anything 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nopes. I’m with you.
I wonder when those people ever breath and relax. When do they really get to enjoy life??I’m still drowning in lots of work from after yom tov, still finishing up winter wardrobe shopping, kids didn’t even go back to school yet. My house hasn’t been quite in weeks and here I’m reading about a purim theme. GOODNESS!

For people who’s outlet is creativity like that, it actually is relaxing and helps them breathe through these difficult and stressful times, when they begin thinking of these types of ideas and get their creative juices flowing. At least that’s how it works for me.

Are you specifically looking at ballet dancing? Because dh could be some other kind of dancer-put some tap shoes on for tap dancer or red colored costume and start dancing the tango.
There's no reason to do nutcracker costume over any other ballet-look up what most male ballet dancers wear-there's a range depending on the ballet they're performing in. Admittedly most do wear tights, but you could probably get away without it. Put a circlet around his head and he could be any manner of prince which covers at least half the ballets.

This. If somebody thinks about Purim now because they have a pressure, that's a problem. But somebody who enjoys it? Hobbies can be done any time of the year...

All of Sukkos I was thinking how I will decorate my Sukkah next year. I just need something creative to think of when I have a quiet minute, and being around sukkahs got the juices flowing...
