Linda Jamieson is the owner and founder of her own School of Dance and has a Royal Academy of Dance Teaching Certification. At the Linda Jamieson School of Dance people can learn a wide range of dances and prepare and train for a career in dancing. The best dancers also have huge opportunities to feature in shows such as the Nutcracker. The Nutcracker is one of the most renowned ballet dancing shows throughout the world. The Nutcracker presents the audience with a Christmas story alongside the famous music of Tchaikovsky. The show and ballet dance was first performed in 1892 and features the story of Clara, a girl who receives a Nutcracker doll. The story then becomes fantastic as Clara finds a wizard in her house which turns the room into a battle between toy soldiers and mice. The toy soldiers eventually win the battle and defeat the mouse king as Clara saves the life of the Nutcracker, which turns back into a boy as he was previously cursed and turned into a toy.
