When the Moscow Ballet performs its “Great Russian Nutcracker” on Sunday, some of the faces will be familiar.
Children from Dance Project, 4992 Country Club Drive in High Ridge, will take to the stage at the Blanche M. Touhill Performing Arts Center.
Moscow Ballet makes a point of involving children in each city in which it performs. Last year, more than 6,000 children in North America were featured in the production.
