Christmas is a festive time, but for young Clara, it brings heartache. As she watches her sister, Louise, dance with her handsome suitor, she longs for that same simple and beautiful experience. Observing this scene with interest, Uncle Drosselmeyer presents Clara with a beautiful yet strange soldier - a Nutcracker. What Clara doesn't realize at that moment is that by keeping the Nutcracker she will be forced to confront the nightmare that has haunted her since childhood.

Mature themes: self-harm and subtle references to sexual assault.

Dancing on Strings

56 parts Complete

"A Princess to your kingdom before A Principal to your stage." Mai, Princess Royal and first of twelve daughters has only two priorities. Her family and her dance - and sadly her dance can never come before her family. Because of this, despite her talent, Mai has never had the chance to preform to her fullest. Until the winter celebrations arise and the great artists come to town. Among them is The Black Rabbit, a trickster and enchanter who offers her the chance to take the stage without risking her position. He just has one small request for her in return. She just has to dance for someone. ~~~ Cover Art: Sugarplum fairy costume design from Boston Ballet's The Nutcracker
