Local mice and snowflakes get ready to join international Nutcracker show

Young ballet dancers gathered on a September night in a small yellow house. The historic home, once part of the Underground Railroad, houses the Fox Hill Dance Academy.

Annual Nutcracker performances are beginning to unfold for the upcoming season, with auditions and rehearsals. At the Fox Hill Dance Academy, Ukranian Audition Director Bogdana Кopiy auditioned age 17 and under dancers for roles in the upcoming NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet. “In a world that sometimes seems to be pulling itself apart, the message of this international troupe of artists is that we can still come together to celebrate beautiful art across borders,” Talmi Entertainment Producer Dan Talmi said.

Kopiy, from Ukraine, sadly thinks of her beautiful country when asked. She thinks of children who have died and will never get to dance on stage like the children she works with in Indianapolis. She wears a small heart in the colors of the Ukrainian flag as she dances and teaches.
