Hello Dancers!
Its time to look at one of our ballet stories! Last time, we looked at Rainbow Fish; today, we will talk about the infamous Christmas story, the Nutcracker! Who hasn't thought of being Clara and dancing with the sugar plum fairies?
The Nutcracker ballet is based on the book "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" written by E.T.A. Hoffman. It follows Clara, a girl who receives a magical nutcracker from her uncle for Christmas. At night, the nutcracker comes alive and fights a mighty battle against the mouse king. When Clara helps him triump over the Mouse King, she breaks the spell that has been put on the Nutcracker. 
It is such a popular ballet that every year there are multiple Christmas performances. Our own Ballet Petite performance will be the second week of December!
Interested in reading more? Stop by the library and pick up a copy! Or come visit one of our Magical Morning classes.
Happy Dancing!
