Nelson Annual Holiday Field Trip

Posted on December 8, 2014 by Ms. Watt | 4 comments

Nelson students walked to Burnaby South on Friday morning to watch The Royal Youth Ballet’s performance of The Nutcracker. After settling into the comfy seats of the Michael J Fox Theatre we all enjoyed the show!
Click on the ballerina to see if you can find yourself in the audience!

What was your favourite part of the ballet, Grade 3s?

The Christmas Eve party & dancing at the Silberhaus home?
The battle between the Nutcracker & the Mouse King?
The waltz of the snowflakes?
Or…is it when the Nutcracker Prince takes Clara to the Land of Sweets, where she meets the Sugar Plum Fairy & her friends?
~ the Spanish dancers, Arabian dancers, Chinese dancers, Russian dancers, or Mother Gigogne and her Clowns (remember that gigantic pink dress!?)
