Four boys were selected to dance in the opening Party scene: Alberto B., Isaiah M., James M., and Calvin R.; 9 students were selected to dance as Angels: Melanie H., Dulce E., Adisa J., Araceli L., Ariana L., Janet M., Bethany N., Melina S., and Astrid W.; and 15 were selected to dance as Soldiers or their understudies: Raquel B., Ambre B., Leslie G., San Juana E., Linda C., Charidy H., Jade K., Claudia L.V., Mireya L., Fatima G., Trinity L., Vivianna M., Bobbie S., Gabriela T., and Autumn K.. It was an exciting experience. The group did a great job and will be rehearsing every Saturday to prepare for the performances which begin in early December. Ballet Instructor Camden Lloyd is pleased that so many students who worked so hard last year to earn the privilege to audition were selected. Osborn Ballet Program students will be learning from both sides of the curtain; some for the third time! The Osborn Ballet Program is supported by the Osborn Educational Foundation and your Ballet designated AZ tuition tax credit donations to Clarendon School. More information is available at www.OsbornSchools.org/Programs/Ballet.htm Ballet Program students have learned about the Nutcracker, read and compared various versions of the story, attended excerpts performed for school matinees and full performances. Four years ago a small group of ambitious students was ready to try for more. Twelve Clarendon students and one Osborn Middle School student auditioned for children's' parts in Ballet Arizona’s production of Nutcracker.
