END OF YEAR PERFORMANCE - NUTCRACKER BALLET

What a wonderful performance! Audiences were delighted with our beautiful Flowers & Snowflakes and our energetic senior Trepak dancers. And how wonderful to be dancing alongside Briana Shepherd, Terri's granddaughter! Who has been dancing with New York City Ballet these last few years. A huge effort from teachers and all students! Thank you to all parents for your feedback regarding the performance - there were some wonderful comments. For 2010 we are planning our performance week to be earlier in December; during the last week of the ballet term. However we are always reliant on theatre availability, although we do try to book 2 years in advance!
