Addi - MPBT Youth Ambassador

I started dancing when I was three years old, but I did not become serious until I was nine and was a student at The Dance Center. I have been doing competition team in all genres ever since. I have been participating in The Nutcracker since 2019 and have had over a dozen different roles. My current roles are Ballerina Doll, Mouse, Snowflake, and the Chinese Dragon. I love ballet because it is very beautiful and it pushes me because it is so difficult. I love MPBT's production of The Nutcracker because it is a phenomenal show that creates so many magical memories. Participating in Nutcracker has helped me make some of my closest friends and some of my favorite memories. I wanted to become a Youth Ambassador because I wanted to become more connected with the behind the scene work that makes our Nutcracker so amazing. I hope to contribute to the growth of the love of dance in the Monterey Peninsula!
