The Shreveport Metropolitan Ballet does an outstanding performance of the Nutcracker every year. The teachers are specially trained with impressive certifications and do a beautiful job putting the whole performance together. They mix their students from 5 to high school age with their own work and then bring in true professionals. Evan & I went to the benefit which is a luncheon where we can mix with some of the cast. We just happened to sit with Brooklyn and her dad. Brooklyn is a year older than Evan but they are from the same orphanage. We do not have a chance to see her much, so this was pretty cool. After the luncheon we went to the performance. We both really wanted a nap but were so mesmerized by the show. I thought that Evan would decide to pursue dance instead of gymnastics after this show, but she still wants to do gymnastics. She said she really enjoyed the show but does not want to make it a tradition. I huess we'll have to figure out something else for next year.
