But how did this 19th-century Russian ballet become such a big part of the holidays in 21st-century America?Meet Willam, Harold, and Lew Christensen, three small-town Utah boys who caught the ballet bug in the early 1900s. They performed on vaudeville and took part in the New York City dance scene.
