This snow queen is sure to “Let it go” transfix the audience when it is her turn on stage! Hanna was just 4 years old when she started dancing and 9 years old when she joined our company. When asked about her favorite dance memory, Hanna says it is more of a feeling she gets. She loves the adrenaline she feels as the music starts before she hits the stage. As a Graduating senior, Hanna plans to study business in college. Tickets are on sale now: https://shorturl.at/2ZyHk #harrisymca #thenutcracker

One of our Night Queens, Chloe, started dancing at 6 years old and joined our Harris Y Dance company when she was in the 2nd grade. Performing in the Nutcracker is hard work and thus Chloe’s favorite Nutcracker memory is eating food on break as well as spending time on and off the stage with her friends. Upon graduation, Chloe would like to study animal science with the goal of becoming a vet! #harrisymca #harrisydance #thenutcrackerballet
