One event that I will never forget was Eglevsky's Ballet, The Nutcracker. From my first audition back in 2002 to my final show in 2004. In 2002 I was too young to audition and didn’t have enough ballet training but I went anyway. I just wanted to see what it was like. I didn’t make it that year and when it came time for auditions the following year I didn’t want to do it. I decided a half hour before the auditions that I wanted to do it so I went. Two weeks later my mom picked me up from school surprising me with the news that I had made it. I was a mouse and I started rehearsals that week. I remember feeling so important telling all my friends where I was going when I had rehearsal and when they came to see me perform and I got to come out of the stage door. I made the production in 2004 as well, this time I was a soldier. Both years I got to miss a day of school for a full dress rehearsal on the Friday the show was opening. The Nutcracker is definitely something I will remember forever.
