In Spain, families cel-
ebrate Three Kings Day.
Around dusk on January
5, the three kings Melchor,
Gazpar and Baltasar magi-
cally arrive. That night chil-
dren leave out their shoes to
hold the gifts the three kings
bring to celebrate the three
wise men bringing gifts to
the newborn king.
In the number “Three
Kings Day,” choregraphed
by Kayla Williams, nine
dancers from the junior
ensemble performed ballet to

the popular Christmas song
“We Three Kings of Orient
Are.”
Each year, the grand finale
is a joy to watch. “Do You
Hear What I Hear” began
with 6- and 7-year-old danc-
ers performing ballet to the
song “Children Will Listen”
(from “Into the Woods”) by
One Voice Children’s Choir.
The dance depicted a tradi-
tional Norwegian feast day
that came about because of
St. Lucia, a young girl in the
Middle Ages who helped
bring food down to the dark
tunnels where the persecuted
Christians would hide. As the
story goes; she wore a white
dress with a wreath of can-
dles around her head to light
the way. The song changed to
the popular Christmas song
“Do You Hear What I Hear.”
And to end that special
performance, 130 dancers lit
the way through the audito-
rium past the audience hold-
ing battery-operated candles
and back up on stage for a
standing ovation.
“The idea behind this per-
formance is that young chil-
dren have the capacity to be
in tune with others,” Liddell
told The Nugget. “Children
are very perceptive as they
experience everything around
them by what they hear.”
