Dana - Rose Queen - Dancer Spotlight

This will be my eighth year in MPBT’s Nutcracker and I am so excited. I am so honored to get to be the role I’ve always looked up to the most growing up and I am even more excited to get to do it alongside my friends.

My favorite Nutcracker memory from over the years is when Tia played my favorite hype song, Fireball, for our warmup before a show. It was very “fire”.

MPBT’s Nutcracker means so much to me. It has really helped shape me not just as a dancer, but as a person too. Getting to rehearse and perform with my friends, in these amazing costumes, and be part of such a magical production is something I’ll always be grateful for.
