Beginnings of the Second Nutcracker

So after some sage advice from my youngest daughter, who basically said the same thing back to me when she had difficulty choosing between two parts that had been offered to her to go with the first offer unless she just didn’t want to do it at all. So with that in mind I took the offer to do the Party Scene from the first studio that offered. Few days after saying yes I get a email with all the full cast list. Already know who my partner is going to be, and somewhat comfortable around Melissa as she and I did a little partnering in character class during the summer intensive. Interesting that unlike last year where the Artistic Director drafted dads, moms and boyfriends to fill in the adult parts, this director is using male and female dancers, even pulling a couple in from his professional company. Ought to make rehearsals interesting.
