Quote Marks
"One of my favorite times of the year is Nutcracker. It takes lots of hard work and preparation but it always pays off. I always wait eagerly to see what parts I and the other girls receive. It is an exciting time. During Nutcracker, I also love to be a role model to the younger girls. It is always fun to see them dance and help them when they need it. Nutcracker brings the TDC family together in so many ways. It is the greatest time of the year."
