Rehearsal SDB Alice:Wonderland. Photographer: Manny Rotenberg. Dancer: Arielle Meads

Nutcracker school matinee went well today. Taught class at 8am.

Congrats to Stephanie Maiorano and Evgeney Korsakov on their first Sugarplum and Cavalier with the company. Everything went well, other than a technical snafu with the headsets that connect the back of the stage to the front of the house. Well, we ended up doing everything by visual cues. No blood was spilled and some younger dancers got the opportunity to be put into Waltz of the Flowers and variations.

Tonight, we start with the kids pictures before and after the show. So once again I get to act like an elf helper to churn them through. Then our dress rehearsal. Then home to snooze and do more of the same tomorrow.
