Me, in tights?

I will be taking the stage for the first time in 18 years. I will play the part of the Butler in the Nutcracker this December at the Brooks Center at Clemson.

Kallsen takes dance at the Foothills Dance Conservatory. They have a foundation that brings in professional dancers for this annual production. When Kallsen's dance teacher, who also owns the business, heard that I was once a performing arts major, asked me to be in the production.

The role has no lines but is a very physical role. Only one dance scene for me...and that's a group scene. So if you ever have wanted to see me in tights, this December is your chance.

Oh my gosh! That is fantastic! What a way to keep in shape during the holidays too! Is Kallsen going to be in it with you? Is he still loving dance?

Kara - No, Kallsen is not in the production. Yes, he still likes his dance class.

Parker is probably the more of a dancer than Kallsen. Parker loves to move to music. We'll get him involved this time next year.
