Joel Dichter's mother knew he was destined to be a ballet dancer when she took the tot to see a touring production of "The Nutcracker."
"There was a scene where the Snow King lifts up the Snow Queen. He jumped out of my lap, split my lip open, and screamed like he was at a football game," Cathy Dichter recalled. "The woman in front of me turned around in the middle of the production and said, 'If you don't put him in ballet tomorrow, I'll be very upset.' "
