Little Leapers celebrate fifth performance of holiday classic

Roanoke (WSLS 10)-The Little Leapers are presenting a perfect way to continue your holiday celebrations with a performance of "The Nutcracker".

Celebrating their fifth year of the ballet, the group will hold two performances of the holiday classic at the Moss Art Center today at noon and 6 p.m..

Mainly performed by children under 12, over years, the ballet has grown over the years from a small theater performance with 40 children to over 200 local dancers, professional costumes, and a live orchestra.

Little Leapers Director, Heather Leeper, says the orchestra pit is totally sold out for both performances, but there are still tickets available for the mezzanine.

Those tickets are available at www.artscenter.vt.edu .
