Catching up with Clara and Fritz

American Midwest Ballet often features talented young students from dance schools throughout the region in its productions — such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream (May 2011) and next season’s much anticipated Alice In Wonderland.
With productions in four cities so far, it is during auditions for The Nutcracker that we meet many of the dance students who add fun, vitality and excitement to our shows.

As our staff prepares for auditions for this winter’s productions in Omaha, Council Bluffs and Spirit Lake, IA, we decided to catch up with Jack Tracy (Fritz in The Nutcracker Iowa Arts Center, Omaha Music Hall – 2011) and  Hannah Liu (Clara in The Nutcracker Omaha Music Hall – 2011) to learn how they have been spending their summer.
