When I think of my time in Sacramento Ballet there are many
magical moments. During the Nutcracker season I was fortunate to be able to
dance many roles that meant a lot to me including Snow Queen, Arabian, Rose and
the Sugar Plum Fairy. But, I have never had so much fun on stage as when I was
in the role of the Governess in the Party Scene. When I first began learning
the role, it was specific counts and blocking, but as time went on, it
transformed and took on a life of its own. Myself as the governess and the two
maids were completely in the moment and enjoying every minute of it. There are
memories from performing that role that I am sure will continue to make me
smile fifty years from now.
I think dancing in the Nutcracker, no matter what the
role--no matter how large or small--is an absolute joy and it has the ability
to be wonderfully transformative.
