Nutcracker

 Ellie performed in Mountain West's Nutcracker for her 7th season.  This year she was part of the snow corps. She was so excited about the part.  She worked really hard to prepare for auditions and was really happy about the part she got.  It was so fun to watch her and she did such a great job. 

Right before performances started Stephanie, the costume mistress passed away so the show was dedicated to her and the girls appreciated the beautiful costumes even more. 

Ellie and her studio friends Senya. They have been taking classes together for years and were in the same cast this year. 

Ellie loved her costume this year and begged to have professional pictures taken.  (Pictures by Hello Dancer Photography)

This is my favorite picture.

The young women in our ward came one night to watch the performance.
