The La Crosse Dance Center’s rendition of the Nutcracker entertained another huge crowd again this year! I am amazed every year at how these talented kids bring the Christmas spirt to the La Crosse community. It is such a priviledge to be backstage. It is amazing how the kids, staff and parents make the show happen. The dancers range in age from 4 to college age. Congratualtions to Nikki Balsmo for directing another great performance — it’s no surpise that Nikki was recently recognized with the WI Dance Association’s leadership award for her contributions to dance in Wisconsin.
Congratulations LDC dancers on another amazing performance!

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.
