My sister has informed me that The Nutcracker Ballet which is Russia’s best ballet troupe will be touring the United States at the end of the year and one of the cities they are scheduled to perform is in Memphis, Tennessee. My sister lives just a couple of hours’ drive from Memphis and she can’t wait to go for an entertaining night out with her fiance.

When we were kids, we were very envious of our cousin, Jasmine. She gets to study ballet at a top dance school in town while we were not able to because dancing is a hobby that our parents could ill afford. Until today, we still love watching ballet and the gracefulness of the ballet performers.

Now that the very famous nutcracker ballet from Moscow, Russia, is going to perform at her doorstep, well, almost, no way is she going to pass up this chance. She says this is the next best thing to going to Russia to watch!

She said that it will be a wonderful opportunity for her to wind down. She said that she works hard and needs the break once in a while, so this two hour drive to watch the Nutcracker Ballet would be a welcome trip away.
