Every year Christmas comes and with it many exciting activities to attend. The Nutcracker Ballet is one of the most talent filled events you can see. Students of the arts from Butler University along with young students from the central Indiana area gather to perform in this holiday classic.

This past week I had the privilege to photograph the talent in their dress rehearsal and was able to capture ballet moves such as pique turns, Bourre, Arabesque and Fouettés’ among many others seen in the ballet.

So, sit back and enjoy the talented Butler Arts students as they show off the skills they have worked a lifetime developing and honing.
