Ashling participated in the annual performance of the Lake Arrowhead School of Dance's Nutcracker. She auditioned in June and was chosen to be an angel. This is a great role because the timing has to be perfect and they also are required to watch their spacing which are great things to learn in dance. The worst part of the role is that these costumes are quite difficult to get on an off and the girls can not do it on their own. It requires quite a bit of behind the scenes participation. Ashling was chosen to go out in the first act as an angel to wave to Clara. This meant that she put her costume on and off twice in each performance. She performed a total of 9 times! I love the nutcracker and it was great to watch Ashling excel at dance. She loved every minute of it and never complained about anything. She loved watching the professional dancers and wanted to be just like them... someday. She loves ballet and is excited to participate next year again.
