Nothing beats attending a special tea party with a Sugar Plum Fairy and Nutcracker, and Where’s Amy was there to experience the magic and fun. Central Indiana Dance Ensemble hosted a tea party for guests before their outstanding performance of “The Nutcracker” at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center. The dancing, choreography and entire stage production was top-notch. I loved watching the little girl sitting next to me beam with excitement as she watched the famous ‘Nutcracker Battle’ and classic ‘Kingdom of Sweets’ dance scenes. It was a fantastic treat to see guest artist and Carmel native Jacob Pringle, along with Nick Posluszny (Carmel), Murphy Brazzell (Sheridan) and Lily Fife (Westfield) and 117 dancers, representing 49 schools in central Indiana. If you missed CIDE’s “Nutcracker,” don’t worry, you can see it March at the Mixed Rep Concert and Silent Auction at the Tarkington Theatre. For more, visit cidedance.org
