The Nutcracker

The last few months have been filled with Saturday practices in preparation for G1 to dance in The Nutcracker.  She has had so much fun during this whole experience which culminated in two performances over the past weekend.  She was a "chef" which was the youngest group of dancers in the cast.  Our little ballerina had a special audience with her Grandma Sue in attendance one night.

I split the videos up into several segments because it makes them easier to upload (but very chunky to watch!)!  In the first segment, you can see G1 bringing in the pot running backwards.  She starts off the dance on stage right (left hand side of the screen).

The next video, she is the chef in the front.  The one who the Nutcracker prince makes the face at (this was a big deal to the chefs!).

In the final video, she is the girl in the front with her bum to the audience. 

The whole production was beautiful!  (Thankfully so, since I watched the just over two hour performance three times in 24 hours!)  And a totally magical experience for G1!
