MELROSE, MA — It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

39 Wilmington residents are getting ready perform in Melrose Youth Ballet’s presentation of The Nutcracker.  These young dancers, who range in age from age 7 to 18, auditioned and were cast in the annual, full-length production of this popular Christmas classic.
