I have so many images from the Nutcracker I am going to post a few more. It was so fun to watch all the kids backstage and see how well they worked together. Congratulations to all of you the show was wonderful! Thank you to the staff of the LaCrosse Dance Center…you are terrific!




I Love this picture of one of the younger girls backstage watching the show before she goes on.

I had the privilege of photographing the performers from the Nutcracker at Viterbo last night. It was their first dress rehersal and it was amazing! Nikki Balsamo is the director and many many hours are put into the show. The kids try out in May and practice all summer and fall. The show is this Friday night and Saturday afternoon at Viterbo.

Thank you La Crosse Dance Center for allowing me to come! ~Diane
