Original Toronto Star caption: Dancers in the National Ballet's cast for the traditional Christmas performances of The Nutcracker at the O'Keefe Centre; rehearse intently every day before the curtain opens. Some of the dancers; like 13-year-old Bill Stolar; are performing in the ballet for the first time. Others; like Jeremy Ransom; also; 13; are three-year veterans. But they all admit they get butterflies as they wait in the wings for their cues.
