I know so many of you are wonderful supporters of Hailey and her ballet "career" :)...so I wanted to let you know that she'll be dancing in the Nutcracker THIS Weekend-- Friday, Saturday and Sunday (EST) and it will again be featured on a live feed over the internet. So those of you who are far away or would rather enjoy watching from the comforts of home (for free!) and would like to see her dance will be able to do that yet again. I have only watched the live feed once, but I do believe you can make out most people on the stage (though they don't zoom in much). Hailey will be a party girl again in the first act (Party Scene) and will also be a Russian Trepak (on pointe) in the second act (Land of Sweets). She is in all 4 performances (8pm on Friday and Saturday night and 2pm on Saturday and Sunday afternoon). She enters through the door on the right of the stage this year as a party girl and will be initially wearing a blue bonnet/shawl and muff...then she'll be in a light pink/white party dress like most of the other girls (she is the tallest of the girls). And then she will be one of 4 Trepak girls (but it might be harder to see her there since her hair will be in a bun and they are all dark-haired girls)...she is on the far left most of the time and comes right after the Chinese dance (yellow/red outfits). If you blink you might miss her in this...it's a very quick song (I'm sure you will recognize it...it's one I danced in years ago :)) and I believe she only dances for like 30 seconds (but she is marvelous on pointe and the youngest to ever do this part at age 11). She will also be in the finale on the far left.
Thanks to all of you who will be watching and thinking of her this weekend...and for those who have been saying little prayers for us along the way. Many of you know what an emotional two months it's been with the disappointment of not getting the lead. She has been very gracious and mature about it all. But, it's still a shame to not see her as Clara as I know she would have been an amazing one. She really is a most gifted and talented ballerina. We are certain God will open other doors for her!
Thank you all for your love and support always and special thanks to all who are going to the performances this weekend. Have a blessed holiday season!
Sincerely,
Kelly :)

BRAVO HAILEY!!!! How exciting! You were awesome! So glad I could watch you again this year!
Love, Auntie Cil:)
Fantastic little Hailey. I was able to connect saturday evening in Paris and to admire her. She was perfect (the tallest young girl). So elegant and wonderful Ballerina. Please give her all my congratulations and many many kisses.
Her french fan club Nathalie
Awwww, thanks for watching, friends :) Cil, you never fail to always support Hailey...thank you. I know she'll love to hear you watched her from afar. And, Nathalie...I am so happy you could see her from across the world. Hailey someday hopes to visit Paris and the ballet there. She will be excited to hear her French Fan Club has been watching. Thanks for the support, girls! :)
