I love this particular ballet because I always feel the magic of the theater when I watch it. There is so much life, energy, and passion in the plot, as well as the vivacious score that always makes me want to jump up and dance. Kitri has been a dream role for me as long as I can remember, and I hope to get the chance to dance it someday.”Her repertoire includes Still Life at the Penguin Café, Black Sabbath – The Ballet, and Romeo & Juliet.

So to stand on the Miss America stage, proud of the healthy woman I am today, is something I will never take for granted. More than the award itself, I’m proud of the journey it represents.”Hutsell ended her post by giving a shout-out to her friends, family, dance trainer, and fitness/health trainer, among others.
