It was just another day at the Sacramento Ballet, the dancers started off their morning with Carinne’s class followed by a few rehearsals. We were sitting in the silent studio; putting on our pointe shoes, stretching, or just taking a break, when all of the sudden we heard a roar of children’s’ voices coming down the block. Well, here we go, with about a week until the Sacramento Ballet moves into the theatre, we had the opportunity to run our upcoming program in front of three classes of elementary students from one of our Leaps and Bounds schools. It certainly added a lot of fun for us to hear all of the kids “ohhs” and “ahhs” and of course the occasional laughs! I particularly enjoyed a part in Balanchine’s Serenade when I was so close to a couple of children they tried to touch my pointe shoes! Probably not the safest idea, but it certainly made me smile!
With such a short time left, I cannot wait to move into the theatre and start performing (which is my favorite part of being a professional dancer)! I love being able to share my love for dance with my audience. I have been working very hard and have had so much fun with this repertoire; I cannot wait to share it with you!
