Families braved the short-lived snow squall Wednesday evening, Dec. 11, to catch a glimpse of Clara and her nutcracker at the Carmel Clay Public Library.

The Metropolitan Youth Ballet of Indiana, formerly Ballet Theatre of Carmel Academy, performed excerpts from their upcoming performance of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker for the crowd of around 250.

Before the performance, MYB Artistic Director Jane Hachiya-Weiner invited children from the audience to come forward and learn a toy soldier dance. MYF dancers Sam Baskin, Ezra Casimiro, and Antonios Kafantaris led the boys and girls in marching and jumping to the music, ending with a big bow.
