I Don't Get It

The Nutcracker holds a special place in many dance hearts. This year, Fawnda was joined by Soni Dasmohapatra and seven-year-old Niya for their first experience with Shumka's Nutcracker. It was pretty magical, especially after 700+ days since the company had performed for public audiences. Stay tuned to the end for a special preview of the next podcast project Fawnda and Soni are working on in 2022: Kathak, Hopak, Hip-hop.

It was pretty magical, especially after 700+ days since the company had performed for public audiences.
