Dance Experience

This has been five years in the making, and I honestly can’t believe I finally get to say this…

I wrote a children’s book!

About five years ago, I wrote my own Nutcracker story to go along with our production at my studio, Dance Experience. Year after year, I’ve shared Clara’s story with my students, and somewhere along the way I started dreaming about turning that story into something more.

I wanted my dancers to be able to take a little piece of that Nutcracker magic home with them. I wanted Clara’s story to become a real book that children could hold, read at Christmas, and hopefully treasure for years to come.

And now it finally has. ❤️

I am SO excited to introduce
“Clara’s Christmas Dream: A Nutcracker Story,” my very first children’s book!

It’s a magical Christmas adventure filled with friendship, dancing, dazzling snowflakes, the Land of Sweets, and of course, The Nutcracker. But at its heart, Clara’s story is about dreaming big, working hard, believing in yourself, and discovering that sometimes the greatest magic comes from within. ✨

🎄 PREORDERS ARE NOW OPEN! 🎄
📖 $19.99
✍️ Presale copies will be signed by me
🎁 The FIRST 50 PREORDERS will also receive an exclusive Clara’s Christmas Dream 2026 keepsake ornament!

Books are expected to arrive in time for Christmas and would make such a special gift for young dancers, dreamers, Nutcracker lovers, or anyone who still believes in a little Christmas magic. ❤️

It’s pretty surreal to think that the story I started sharing with my dancers five years ago is finally becoming a real book.
