Nutcracker History


Chinese Dance - The Nutcracker - Isla, Chloe and Charlotte

A great love of nutcrackers emerged from The Nutcracker Suite, the fairy tale ballet that inspired families around the world. The beloved ballet brings soldier nutcrackers to life and makes them heroes of the day.
German legend has it that nutcrackers were given as keepsakes to bring good luck. They represented power and strength and would serve a family faithfully to protect them from thieves and danger.

RECOMMENDATIONS

2014

"Lilly loves being active and learning new things" Nikki

"Friendly and encouraging. Its perfect."
Natalie

"The class sizes are great and the girls seem to really enjoy themselves. Addison says she likes Charlotte as she is fun and kind and let's us do lots of turns on our tippy toes :) "
Rachelle

"As a parent I particularly like that the music, dance steps and costuming is age appropriate - I have seen too many of my friends/family young children dancing to songs and doing moves in other dance schools that I feel inappropriate for their age - i like the innocence of your themes and that a love of dance shines through.
Isla responds well to you both and she loves the differing styles of traditional ballet and the jazz body movement. I'm really happy with the open classes too I hope this remains in place (understand not for term 4 though).
Only comment would be to look at streamlining re-enrolment for continuing students and to keep the atmosphere fun and light esp for the non graded ballerinas. The dance combinations are spot on - not too difficult or to basic and the use of props is an excellent tool to make learning fun. Isla loves her time with you so that is what I go on for satisfaction"
Kristie

"We like the use of props and themes in the program which enhances engagement of joy and wonder in dance. CCBB allows my child to work on developing friendships through sharing and respect. The location and timetable also work very well for us.
The only suggestion I would make for this age group is to allow a bit more variety and freedom in the program to cater for individual expression and creativity. Perhaps some free form movement and improvisations. I think this could also help with stimulating fun and laughter."
Julie

"The lasting friendships she has developed over the past few years. The marked improvement in Isla's technique and her understanding of the dedication and commitment required in getting the most out of her dancing. CCBB's commitment and dedication in providing the best for these girls."
Julie

"The professional and friendly approach taken in all areas.
Learning in a fun environment."
Jasmine

"My daughter loves her teachers and loves to dance. She would go every day if she could."
Mel

"I love seeing the improvement at the end of the term
I like the confidence and discipline it helps build.
Paige loves the activity, the rewards the music and the teachers. I'd love to see the reward charts for practising at home again, Paige enjoyed that.''
