Welch's version has all the traditional elements both realistic and whimsical complete with sword fights, the evil Mouse King, the Nutcracker that comes to life and a mammoth Christmas tree, all set to the memorable Tchaikovsky score. Welch's version features an expanded role for Clara, the young girl whose dreams set everything in motion.
Before joining Ballet West, Sisk grew up in Longview where she trained with Longview Ballet Theatre. At 14 she went to The Rock School for Dance Education, a boarding school in Philadelphia - a real culture change."That was tough," she said, and remembers thinking:"Oh, I want to be home with my friends in high school and be a cheerleader and on the drill team. It was so hard."
