I love seeing the children at the ballet, especially at the Nutcracker. They are so dedicated and well rehearsed. I wish I were going to be in town for the Nutty Nutcracker! Next year! :-) Thanks so much for the comment! I love seeing the children at the ballet, especially at the Nutcracker. They are so dedicated and well rehearsed.

This is his third year dancing for Ballet West's Nutcracker and it has sparked an intense love of dance and theater. He takes lessons about eight hours a week and has never once said he didn't want to go to class or to rehearsals. His entire soccer team came to watch him dance Nutcracker last year, and he has never once worried about being teased or anything like that. It's fun to watch the professionals as well as the children and wonder which of the kids will be the next Christopher Sellers or Christiana Bennett? Seeing the "Nutty Nutcracker" on the 30th and 31st is also a new and often hilarious experience. Henry tells me that it will be something to remember, but of course, won't say what's in store. Thanks for covering the ballet. It has certainly made a big impact in our previously NON-dance family! Valerie Winn Salt Lake City My little boy became hooked on ballet after doing the Nutcracker.
