The Nutcracker

This weekend was Madison's first time performing in the Nutcracker with The Carrollton Academy of Dance. They spent many months preparing for their first full production of the show. Madison performed in the marzipan dance and was chosen from her class to be in a special scene of the presentation of the court. Party Parents were needed to perform in the first act, so I gladly volunteered. It has been a long time since I have been on stage, so it was a lot of fun to be a part of a production again. It was even more fun to share that experience with Madison and be behind the scene with her the entire time. Hudson and Brian got to enjoy the show. He was a little scared of the rat king and wasn't too sure why I was up on stage. I think he liked it though because as soon as he got home he put on his brittish soldier pj's on and pretended to be the nutcracker.

Madison really enjoyed the experience and did a great job. Her favorite part was being in the extra dance and spending time with the older company girls.

Way to go Madison!
