On Monday and Tuesday, kindergarten classes at Oakwood Primary Center participated in The Nutcracker Ballet.
In the big party scene, in which Clara, Fritz, and friends wait anxiously to participate in the Christmas festivities, GodfatherDrosselmier brings Clara a Nutcracker and the excitement begins. The children enjoyed being part of this wonderful production and were so proud to perform for the first and second grade classes. They are still wondering if it was a dream or a bit of Christmas Magic!
The children learned how to fly like angels, jump like Cossack soldiers, scamper like mice, and march like soldiers. There were also children who were flowers, elves, dancers, and yes, there were even children who played the part of Fritz and Clara.
Professional dancers Andrei Kisselev, his wife Yana Volkova, and their daughter Alina taught the kindergarteners their parts earlier in the day and filled in the rest of the performance with the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and the Russian Trepak, to name just a few. The Kindergarten teachers assisted in helping the children enter and exit for their parts in the performance, and Oakwood’s music teacher Mrs. Luella Pinelli played the part of Clara’s and Fritz’ Aunt in the production. The Kindergarten children performed for two days to the delight of a packed audience.
The Oakwood PTA was responsible for bringing this wonderful dance company to our Kindergarten children and the whole school enjoyed their incredible performances.
