Happy Feet Ballet & Performing Art presents The Nutcracker Ballet
By HEATHER GAMEWELL
Happy Feet Ballet & Performing Art in Dominical is so excited and honored to bring the spectacular, magical performance of the timeless holiday classic, The Nutcracker Ballet, for the first time to the Zona Sur of Costa Rica! It has taken years of dedicated training in the school to achieve the levels needed to execute this timeless classic, which the ballet world has strived for centuries to perfect and create.
Time to celebrate! Join us for this extraordinary event of The Nutcracker Ballet on December 14 &15, 2019, 5:30 pm at the BMS Theater in San Isidro! Enjoy the beauty as the Nutcracker (Samuel Bartow) battles the Rat King (Miriam Panek). His army, the snowflakes dance, the flowers come alive, the clowns fight over dolls and taste the cupcakes. Watch as Clara (Alisa Vargas discovers the mysterious land of the sweets!

The excitement at Happy Feet does not stop there! We are also so excited to host an International Dance Intensive January 11-17, 2020. Some guest Star Master Teachers are Becky Erickson, a Principal Ballerina and Master Coach for the Youth America Grand Prix. Jason Celaya is an International Hip Hop Star Choreographer and Movie Actor! We are so excited to bring this level of education in Ballet, Drama, Hip Hop, Gymnastics, and Contemporary Dance to our children!
Sign up to help so we can invite and help the kids in our public schools to participate! Thank you to all our families and sponsors for your dedication, your support, your hard work, and your love throughout 2019, we could not do this without you.
We are thrilled to start classes on January 20, 2020, with our amazing community as well as start rehearsals for our 2020 spring show Aladdin! Stay tuned for all the Happy Feet fun, learning, and opportunities!
Sponsor one of our children for their needs, e.g., to get to the school every day to learn.
Happy New Year, may it be blessed!

Free Digital Magazine in Costa Rica #89
Ballena Tales is an essential free digital magazine in Costa Rica, valid for travelers, residents, and investors



Sierpe mangroves
The mangrove forest and its massive maze and the intertwining of trees and roots is considered to be a critical component acting to subdue tidal surge, reduce erosion, provide opportunities for recreation and serve as nurseries for fisheries.



Back to the Earth
In each magazine edition, writers often relate to a topic relevant to the particular timing of the publication. Unfortunately, we are all writing with heavy hearts about the loss of Dagmar in this issue. Her vibrant personality and dedication to this magazine will surely be missed.



An unforgettable Tour to Caño Island
I had the opportunity to take a Caño Island tour. Since I was a little kid, I have loved swimming in the ocean and looking out for all the sea creatures.



The Bees – a Beautiful Example
In Costa Rica, we have over 50 species of bees. From the Apis melifera (an introduced species), to many others that have co-evolved with native plants.



Path of the Tapir Biological Corridor
Birth of the environmental movement in Costa Ballena.
At the beginning of the last century, tapirs, jaguars, white-lipped peccary, red brocket deer, harpy eagles, giant anteaters, and others wandered freely through the forests in the area that today is known as the Costa Ballena and the Path of the Tapir Biological Corridor.
