Stella - Spanish Lead - Dancer Spotlight

I’m most excited to make new friendships and memories with the cast. Spending time with them backstage, and during rehearsal, it is so special to see everyone’s growth throughout this experience. I’m also excited to be a part of the Spanish scene, it has always been one of my favorites. This will be my fourth year participating in Nutcracker, and since it is my senior year, it will be my final Nutcracker! 

My favorite Nutcracker memory is each year’s opening night. After a long week of rehearsal at Sunset Center, and the anticipation leading up to opening night, seeing the magic of nutcracker come to life is a feeling like no other. Everyone is so talented, and getting to see everyone’s hard work pay off on stage is such a special thing to witness. 

MPBT Nutcracker means being a part of such a special community and being able to share what I love to do with others. The friendships created throughout the whole cast of MPBT Nutcracker are ones that will last a lifetime and I am very grateful that I get to dance with the people I love most.
