2024 Reed Pipe, Summer- Dancer Spotlight

My most memorable nutcracker experience is when I was a mini mouse and I got to watch all the big girls backstage with their pretty tutus and pointe shoes. It’s so rewarding to now be one of those big girls that I used to look up to.

I’m really looking forward to sharing the stage with my closest friends. After spending so much time rehearsing and perfecting in the studio, I grow closer to everyone which makes the experience so enjoyable.

Nutcracker is important to me because it helps me focus solely on ballet and improve my ballet technique. I also love that I get to share this wonderful performance with the community and help start off the holiday season.

One piece of advice for an upcoming young dancer is to work hard and enjoy what you do. The hard work that you put in really pays off especially when it’s for something you love.
