The Inspiration

This year at the girl's and I traditional Nutcracker outing they became inspired future ballerinas. They loved the performance we saw because it was from a local ballet school (similar to Clytie Adams Ballet school in Utah), which meant that Clara was played by a young girl, instead of a prima ballerina pretending to be a young girl (like we usually see in the Joffery Ballet Company). I don't think they ever thought that a young girl could actually be in such an important ballet. So after it was done, they really wanted to sign up for lessons so they could be in the performance next year. So, hopefully next year instead of posting about watching the Nutcracker, I'll be posting about the girls performing it! :)
