Did you miss the 8th Annual Dance-Along Nutcracker at the Chicago Cultural Center today? I am telling you -- if you have an aspiring ballerina at your house, this is a fabulous (and free) holiday event.
If you need a few reasons to put this event on your holiday calendar for 2010, have a look at these pictures.

I just love that this event exists! What a wonderful thing for an aspiring ballerina. I would have totally been into this when I was little girl.
Stephanie,
I too wish that I could have donned my leotard and tutu when I was little for an event like this!
I get teary eyed every year watching my daughter stare at the real ballerinas in complete awe. She absolutely loves it. Free fun right here in Chicago!
