We are going to sit it out this year. We are just not at the point I'm ready for the large cramped groups.
DD is bummed, but we'll be back next year with bells on!


Makes sense to do what your family feels comfortable with! The Nutcracker definitely isn't going anywhere, haha.

We're doing The Kennedy Center's Nutcracker. It is a bit of culture shock bc dd is used to dancing at TWSB (rehearsals aren't run as professionally and the talent level is less) BUT I am really happy with their covid protocols. Masks on always. Younger kids have to submit weekly negative test results

New to this, but I'll bite. Level 3, medium talent, tall thin goofy girl


I’m the previous poster! She’ll be a soldier. She’ll have fun! Post back to tell me I’m right!

Who’s next?


I'll let you know!

Not the earlier poster, but another parents with many years at TWSB. My bet is on page, possibly soldier, though it depends on what you mean by goofy. The soldiers do need to stay in step perfectly.

It's been a few years, but if I'm remembering correctly, pre-ballet 3 kids audition for bumble bees and mushrooms, and 1A and 1B are snow angels or mice.

Is your child level 2? They audition for party girls, soldiers, and clowns. Plan on being a soldier.
