Crystal - Seraphim - Dancer Spotlight

This is my 5th nutcracker and I am always so excited to spend more time dancing with my friends, but for this year specifically I am most excited to be Clara’s friend. This character is so fun and brings joy and excitement to the stage. I love the party scene and I think this role is going to be a lot of fun with my friends.

Nutcracker always results in new friendships, improved dancing, and so much fun. My best Nutcracker memory is opening night last year. Everyone was so excited for our first show, I loved being a lead ballerina doll with Abby, and the performance was great.

MPBT Nutcracker is something to look forward to every year. From auditions, to costume fittings, to our first rehearsal at the Sunset Center, the connections between friends gets so much stronger. It gives us an opportunity to not only get better but also learn to have fun with our dancing. I’m sad for this to be my last Nutcracker year with MPBT, but I’m so grateful for getting the opportunity to be part of it this year.
