Tonight was the bittersweet ending to my final nutcracker performance with the Volusia Civic Ballet. It being my sixth year, I was both excited for the things to come and nostalgic of the memories left behind. This year, with COVID-19, was definitely one for the books. Because all of the theaters in my area are closed, the VCB staff endeavored into a performance ‘in the round.’ This was by far the most unique performance I have ever done, and I can guarantee it was one of the most difficult on their part. I am so very thankful for everyone who has helped me along the way, pushing and encouraging me.
