We got the chance to check out a sneak peek of the CIDE performance of The Nutcracker and it was adorable! It has only enhanced Sophia’s love of dance and lessons are now at the top of her Christmas wish list. We were able to ask questions to the performers and learn more about how long it’s taken them to learn the choreography. All of the performers had to try out to be in this performance and have been working tirelessly for the big show (older kids work 6 hours on Saturdays to get the moves down perfect!)
