'The Nutcracker's' Jessica Cochran
Jessica Cochran, 15, is dancing in her seventh and last "The Nutcracker." She has played every part in "The Nutcracker" that young dancers can play. She’s going to be a “tall angel” this year, and it will be in the “party scene” dancing en pointe for the first time. Jessica has worked her way up through the ranks, playing a “bon bon,” “mouse,” “soldier” and more. She lives in Chewelah and dances in the Company Ballet School in Millwood.
