What a Month! ~ Alexandra Cunningham

On a cold morning, I am happily snuggled in front of a fireplace, relaxing on our day off and reflecting back on last months flurry of events.  October was a busy time for the ballet.  Between the Thriller Flash Mob; the Vampire Pub Crawl; Passions of the Heart in-studio events; Happy Hour with the Dancers the Masquerade Party and of course our performances at the Community Center Theater of Second Before the Ground, Serenade and Dracula - it was practically impossible to not get involved!

Although all of that is now over ... and Sacramento Ballet has switched gears and is now hard at work in preparation for The Nutcracker ... here are some highlights from our fang-tastic October:
