I have been
performing in the Nutcracker for 20 + years. My first part was a mouse. In
order for my mom and dad to know who I was, I had a yellow ribbon on my tail. My first dance on Pointe was a frost
fairy, I was 9. The best thing
about being a frost fairy was that we had sparkling lights in our tutus. The battery pack was a little heavy,
but it was worth it. We looked very cool and the audience loved us. My favorite
parts in the Nutcracker were Snow, Flute and Flower. I have now come full
circle by being a mom in the Party Scene. Experiencing Nutcracker with my
friends was always the best part for me. I still have that experience 20+ years
later. I also get to enjoy the
Nutcracker with my daughter Emily, who is a company member. I could never have imagined when I was
younger that I would be dancing with my daughter in the Nutcracker. Lots of great memories, then and now
make the Nutcracker special for me.
The pictures of me
are from Party Scene, Flower and Flute.
