Hip Hop Nutcracker Returns To Chicago For The Holiday Season

Cadence Blackful has been dancing since she was in sixth grade. Her family had moved from Illinois to California and her mother wanted her to be involved in an activity. Cadence was hesitant at first, but her mother insisted. She liked taking the dance classes but wanted to try a different dance style. She went to a hip hop dance studio and fell in love with it.
