2007 Inaugural Nutcracker, A New Beginning Performances

These photos were taken at Maple Youth Ballet's 2007 Inaugural Nutcracker, A New Beginning performances, which took place on December 8 & 9, 2007 at Irvine's Northwood High School Performing Arts Theatre.

"I'm writing to say once again that I thoroughly enjoyed your Nutcracker! I loved the new twist on a familiar story, and very much enjoyed Charles' choreography! I was delighted by the surprise of it all, and it is such a treat to see these young beautiful dancers (that I occasionally get to take class with) perform. The dancers were beautiful and their execution was so professional. The attention to technical precision that takes an ordinary performance and moves it into the realm of extraordinary was wonderful." —Caroline G.
