Wow! Nutcracker was amazing this year and we loved performing with the 146 students and actors around the region in this professionally staged show produced by The NWA Conservatory in Bentonville. Ava was our beautiful Snow Queen with visiting dancer Justin Hughes from Ballet Idaho, Mariah was the enchanting Dew Drop Fairy, Lilly and our Artistic Director performed a very beautiful Arabian dance, Ruby spiced things up with her Spanish Chocolate, and our apprentice, Bella, did an excellent job as Clara. Our sweet Anna Fendley unfortunately broke her foot two weeks before the show, but Ava stepped in and learned her part. Thankfully, the doctors think she will be up and dancing again in a few weeks!!! The Conservatory says they will be adding an extra performance time next year since the Arend Arts Center, the school, and the Guild were overwhelmed with people calling to ask for tickets to our already sold out shows. Lesson: BUY YOUR TICKETS WHEN THEY GO ON SALE IN OCTOBER!!!
