Meet our 2023 Lead Chef, Abby

Abby, Lead Chef

This year I'm most excited about having my first lead role in the Nutcracker.

I participate in MPBT's Nutcracker because I love being on stage, performing with my friends and enjoying the Nutcracker music. I also participate because Christmas wouldn't feel right without the Nutcracker. Ever since I was 7, I've always looked forward to dancing in the Nutcracker and without it, Christmas wouldn't feel like Christmas!

When dancing and performing, I get to express everything I learn and feel into my movement. Doing so makes me feel proud about myself and how I could influence someone to love ballet as much as I do. My goals for dancing are to improve in class and on stage, and to continue dancing in the Nutcracker for years to come.
