Big Ballet for my Little Ballerina

My only daughter has taken exactly one ballet class. And she hated it. She loved wearing the leotard, the tiny tu-tu and little ballet flats that adorned her tiny feet. But the moment she walked into the class with the teenage instructor, she was ready to bolt for the door at the idea of standing in perfect positions and controlled arms. We probably started her too young for her wild, I-have-3-brothers spirit, but a week doesn't go by without her asking when she will start back at her ballet classes. It made a lasting impression.

And so when I was contacted about attending the Moscow Ballet right in my hometown by US Family Guide and sharing information on discounted tickets with my readers, how could I refuse?!?! Below is all the information you need and if you aren't local to me, there are many shows taking place all over the United States where the discount would still apply.

The Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker is coming to Lakeland Dec. 30 and we will be in that audience! My readers can save on tickets now with this exclusive offer from US Family Guide .

It's the ultimate holiday tradition and creates memories for a lifetime. The production includes over 200 romantic costumes and 10' tall playful animal puppets; shimmering colorful, backdrops splashed with 3-D effects; life-sized Matrushka (Nesting) Dolls and a puppet show for shadowing the Nutcracker Story at the opening Christmas Party. 

During the battle with Nutcracker Prince and the 3-headed Rat King, a golden cannon shoots roses! In the Magical Snow Forest an authentic Russian style Troika Sleigh, known as the fastest sleigh in the world, is escorted by Father Christmas (Ded Moroz) and Snow Maiden (Snegurochka) on their way to Act II. The Great Russian Nutcracker is known for its dedication to world peace with Act II named the "Land of Peace and Harmony." The first scene of Act II features a stunning "Dove of Peace" with a 20' wingspan and danced by 2 dancers each with one feathered wing. All ages feel the spirit of the season at Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker! Use the code JOY to get the biggest discount of the season for your family.

We are using our tickets as a Christmas gift for my daughter and I can not wait to see her face light up with excitement. She's never seen a ballet in person and I thrilled that her first experience will be with the world renowned Moscow Ballet.
