This is the fourth year Mary Conlee has taken ballet at Tupelo Academy of Dance Arts. Although she has been in the Spring recital each year, this is the first year she has been able to dance in the production of the Nutcracker. First grade ballerinas play the part of angels and dance with the Sugar Plum Fairy. The angels rehearsed once before the first dress rehearsal. So last night as the little angels lined up to do their part, Mary Conlee decided to dance the part of the Sugar Plum Fairy. She was watching her instead of doing the angel's part! It was so cute to watch and a little preview of things to come this weekend!
