The Nutcracker

Over ten consecutive seasons, The Nutcracker has been a defining tradition in my dance journey. From my debut as a little Bon Bon to performing lead roles such as the Snow Queen, Chinese Princess, Columbine, and the Christmas Tree Angel, each year brought new challenges, growth, and unforgettable memories. Under the direction of Mary Buttner and Deborah Buttner-Squeri, I’ve developed not only as a performer but as a collaborator, learning the value of ensemble work, patience, and the shared joy of creating holiday magic onstage.
