Nutcracker Photos at The Village Dance Studio
One of the highlights of my year has been working with The Village Dance Studio in Zionsville, IN. This family owned, small business has operated in the Zionsville community for over 40 years. During the past 6 months I’ve had the pleasure of updating staff headshots, taking headshots for the Nutcracker cast and ensemble, and capturing the photos for the Muttcracker Calendar. Our work together culminated with photos for the their presentation of Nutcracker Short and Suite at the Star Bank Performing Arts Center at Zionsville Community High School. This delightful show is a shortened version of the holiday mainstay with selected excerpts from The Nutcracker. The show is the perfect length for small children and those of us with shorter attention spans!
To say the show was incredible would be an understatement. As I’ve spent time at the studio the past several months I’ve seen the work that goes into the production - organization, costumes, scene selections, and practice, practice, practice. Our community has tremendous amounts of talented people, both on and off stage, and Nutcracker Short and Suite is the perfect example of fabulous people doing fabulous work together.
A special word of appreciation goes to everyone who made this show a possibility. Thank you for the months of hard work, planning, and execution needed to tackle a project like this year in and year out. And thanks for inviting me along for the journey this year. I enjoyed myself immensley.
