Nutcracker Week!!!

The Nutcracker week is now upon us, and we are ready!!! We got spit-shined and dressed up today for pictures by Jennifer Apps. Her photos are wonderful. Check out her website (link below). Next was a dress rehearsal: we ran through the total show 2-1/2 times! We are tired, but happy. Performances are Friday and Saturday evening at the Mount Baker Theatre. Showtime 7:30pm. OH! Don't forget to buy flowers for your special performer through us. We are selling 1 and 3 rose bouquets for $7.00 and $12.00. Contact The Dance Studio for more information: 360-734-1595.

Nutcracker Joy !!!

Saturday we had two Nutcracker run-thru's at the Studio. Busy but FUN! For a few hours the studio is super crowded with parents lining the hall and watching through the windows. There are squeeky little mice, soldiers with swords, snowballs and snowflakes, bon-bons, lifting dads, jesters, merlitones (what is a merlitone anyway?), waltzing flowers and MORE!

Sunday was costume fitting day. Our costumes are beautiful, amazing, and gorgeous! Join us at the Mt.Baker Theatre for our performances on Dec 4th and 5th! It'll be a WONDERFUL Nutcracker experience!
