Emily Cihon's Nutcracker Learning Experience

As the show becomes nearer the anticipation of the theater grows nearer. With the theater come the principal dancers. The principal dancers are always a joy to watch. They have brilliant technique and exquisite showmanship. Last year while I was watching from the wings I noticed the huge second plié that the principals used in preparation for their pirouettes. It was the perfect description of the way Miss Lisa tells us to do them. It really helps to see professionals do the steps that we are working on to learn from them!
