The premier dancer had never taken formal lessons TILL she was discovered by the Wpg. National Ballet. OMG, AMAZING show.

Ouch.
The music is really good...Barbie Nutcracker? Ouch.<br /><br />The music is really good -- it's amazing how many people don't know that they know Nutcracker music. <br /><br />Christine -- you're probably the first non-ballet dancer I've met that knows Firebird. That's one of my faves!<br /><br />And y'all are so sweet with the compliments. <br /><br />"agnoie" -- how appropriate! I'm sure my feet would agree.<br /><br />Check your monitor, Insti. The color is bad in that picture (dark dressing room with yellow and cinderblock walls, old film), but I don't think it looks rose-colored. Does it?Problem Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456049865200737618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-10809799450143283092009-12-15T09:27:34.104-06:002009-12-15T09:27:34.104-06:00Blimey I had no idea you used to be a dancer! Show...Blimey I had no idea you used to be a dancer! Shows how much attention I pay! Never seen the Nutcracker (or any ballet for that matter) which is rather sad seeing as I live about twenty minutes walk from Sadlers Wells which is one of the top dance venues in Europe!! Although I was once forced to sit through Barbie's The Nutcracker, does that count?? It was a lot more nut than cracker if I recall correctly.<br /><br />Christmas traditions round my neck of the woods definitely don't involve wearing a tutu, but boy did you look sweet in one Kim!Heidi Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925778214874519424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-42077423997368394262009-12-15T09:11:22.983-06:002009-12-15T09:11:22.983-06:00You look precious in your costumes, but especially...You look precious in your costumes, but especially the candy cane tutu. I especially love that one. Like Linda, I see AC in those pictures in a few years:-)<br /><br />I'm a Nutcracker fan. One of my favorite holiday memories is taking my seven-year-old daughter to Powell Symphony Hall in St. Louis for a matinee production of The Nutcracker. We had lunch at a fancy restaurant for a very proper girls' day out, and she was mesmerized by the performance.<br /><br />We've been to see it several times since then, but nothing can top that day. I've still got the ticket stubs in my keepsake box:-)<br /><br />Thanks for the nostalgia. It's definitely Sugar Plums for me:-)<br /><br />PC's CPPamela Hearonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810359077576669616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-39508336095819102652009-12-15T09:07:09.753-06:002009-12-15T09:07:09.753-06:00Um...is it just me or does that costume look rose ...Um...is it just me or does that costume look rose colored not green? I honestly need to know if my eyes are going right along with my hearing.

However, PC, you look great in a tutu. I look at you and see how AC will look in a few years :-).<br /><br />Don't think I'm dissing the Nut. I don't watch Christmas movies, either. I love Christmas decorations and the music and the kids going wild with gift-opening, but not the "Miracle on 34th Street" stuff. <br /><br />My verification word: "agonie." <br /><br />Yeah.

I'm not a fan of ballet or dance in general, which is why you'll never draw me into those SYTYCD conversations. But I love Fantasia and everytime I ear the music, I see dancing flowers and fairies and mushrooms. I like that better.Andrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-20280515891328293682009-12-15T07:13:36.267-06:002009-12-15T07:13:36.267-06:00You looked beautiful--though not as beautiful as y...You looked beautiful--though not as beautiful as you do now.Alicia Hunter Pace (aka Jean Hovey and Stephanie Jones)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13844329805282121486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-52856666981795663602009-12-15T07:11:34.186-06:002009-12-15T07:11:34.186-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Alicia Hunter Pace (aka Jean Hovey and Stephanie Jones)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13844329805282121486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-77485659201786262902009-12-15T07:02:37.156-06:002009-12-15T07:02:37.156-06:00The pictures are beautiful.

I love to watch all forms of dance on stage and in film. We're huge fans of MT here as my DD used to participate in tons of them (not really a true place for her to pursue it here). Now we're happy to watch the shows in VBC, Bham and Nville.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-84593003013102477732009-12-15T00:14:56.301-06:002009-12-15T00:14:56.301-06:00I've heard the music (my uncle gave me the 33 ...I've heard the music (my uncle gave me the 33 rpm album set of the Tchaikovsky music when I was a child) but I've never seen the ballet.
