I can't believe it's time for Nutcracker again. This will be our 4th season being involved in a production of this wonderful holiday story. We are in a different city, but we found our way back to the world of Sugar Plum Fairies, Clara and dolls. T will be in this production but my little Poogie will not. The new dance company has older dancers in it, so Poogie will have to wait a year or two. But she is totally fine with that. After doing this for 3 years and dealing with the stress and craziness of it she was ready for a break.
T will be dancing in Act I as a boy child and a mouse. He has had a blast, stress free. This studio has been a blessing. The schedules are up by Wednesday. They start and end on time. Everything runs like a well oiled machine. It has been wonderful. I will post pictures of the production. Sadly, we are not allowed to post video like I have in the past due to copyright concerns. But I understand this as our director has worked hard to make this production her own.
Since we had more free time this season we were able to go to see a professional performance of the Nutcracker by the Moscow Ballet. Such a wonderful treat for my kids and me. It has been 3 long years since I got to set in the seats and watch a production with them. It was a magical night at the beautiful Peabody Opera House.
Now we are off to the Land of Sweets.
