Dance Dreams: Hot Chocolate Nutcracker will highlight conversations with Allen, her students, her family, and studio instructors. These interviews and discussions will give viewers insight into what goes on behind the scenes during the Hot Chocolate Nutcracker production.
In her interview with People magazine, Allen stated that the purpose and message she wants to get across is, “Young people seeing an image of themselves that propels them to want and go further. When I’m training these young people, I expect them to get out in the world the way my mother expected me. All of us get out here and do something and be productive. That is the character education that instills creativity.”
