A Nutcracker performance is the cultural equivalent of the requisite holiday fruitcake. It's festive but tired. Not so when it comes to the Bluegrass Youth Ballet's recent production of The Nutcracker in One Act. This taste of Nutcracker is just enough. Director Adahli Aranda Corn keeps it fresh, short, and always sweet. This condensed version was the perfect way for a 4 year old and 9 year old to enjoy the classic holiday ballet.
My 4 year old daughter (a budding ballerina herself) was especially delighted and refrained from squirming until the final bow. Keeping her entertained for any length of time is something even Disney and Pixar have failed to do. So we'll keep up the ballet lessons! If you know a young ballerina, send her a little encouragement from marshmallowdream.com. My sweet girl is decked out with a Ballerina Slipper Backpack and Dancing Hippo Duffle .
