One of the reasons that November was busy, besides just life in general, was that Faith danced in the Nutcracker the weekend before Thanksgiving! This meant that the weeks leading up to the three performances were filled with extra rehearsals and longer rehearsals! But in the midst of all the craziness, Faith had a wonderful time dancing as a snowflake!!
Here she is entering the special back stage dancer entrance! For Faith it was fun to be part of a professional production that included a 56 piece orchestra and numerous professional dancers. She really enjoyed being able to see parts of the show in which she was not involved. Her fascination with the entire ballet was neat to see!
Here she is after the final performance. All the parents are required to do a number of service hours. One of the areas I was able to help was the cookie party for the kids who attended the matinee performances. Faith helped me set out the cookies for the final cookie party, and here she is posing by the nutcracker on the cookie table. While participating in the Nutcracker was a big commitment and many hours of practice for Faith, she is looking forward to next year already!
