The Dallas Black Dance Theatre is the longest-running dance company in Dallas and on Saturday the Dallas Black Dance Academy, the official school of the theatre, will be performing their Espresso Nutcracker, a twist on the traditional holiday performance.

Moriah Perry is a high school senior but this weekend, she'll be twirling across the stage as the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Dallas Black Dance Academy's Espresso Nutcracker.

"It's a community and I feel like each student in the academy becomes even closer when we do the nutcracker," said Perry, a senior at Booker T Washington High School and a 10-year member of the Dallas Black Dance Academy.
