Matthew Stahnke isn’t your typical dance protégé - the kind that began honing his craft from an early age. The 18-year-old, who will be in "The Nutcracker" with The Atlanta Ballet this weekend, began his dance career because he was grounded for hacking into the family computer four years ago. At the time, Stahnke’s mother had a password so the computer couldn’t be accessed without her permission.
