There’s something magical about this time of year in Hot Springs! As the holiday season draws near, the Hot Springs Children’s Dance Theatre Company is hard at work preparing for its annual production of “The Nutcracker”—a beloved holiday tradition that brings the beauty, grace, and wonder of ballet to life.
Directed by Edmond Cooper and featuring professional dancer Deanna Karlheim Stanton, this year’s performance promises to be a special treat. We’re delighted to look forward to the December production at the historic Malco Theatre, where the magic of the season will unfold on stage. Even more special is the opportunity for our talented local aspiring dancers to perform alongside professionals, gaining invaluable experience while sharing their passion for dance with our community.
Make plans to see the show! Tickets are on sale, and we encourage you to support these dedicated young performers as they bring this timeless holiday classic to life.
A special thank-you to Edmond for sharing the photo, and to Rhonda Panasenko for her beautiful photo design. Erin Baber took it to the next level, transforming their work into the gorgeous November cover you see before you. We’re so grateful for the creativity and collaboration that make each issue special.
As Thanksgiving approaches, we wish all our partners a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving! Here at The Springs Magazine, we’re feeling especially grateful for the wonderful team we’ve brought together.
Thank you to each of you for your time, talent, and dedication in helping make every issue possible. We couldn’t do it without you!
