Thanks so much for following, that’s kind of you to say 😀

Actually I’m in Los Angeles, but flying up is so easy and I love SF Ballet so much that I head up several times a season. One of the many (many many) things that I love about ballet – it’s possible to watch the same ballet over & over with different casts (and different companies as well) and each time its different and potentially wonderful. I wanted to see both Yuan Yuan Tan and Sarah Van Patten dance Tatiana but time (= day job) didn’t permit. I bought tickets before the casting was released. I am SO excited WOOT! I’ve seen Manuel Legris & Maria Eichwald dance segments of Onegin but this will be the first time seeing the entire ballet. Legris & Eichwald set a really high standard of excellence but I think SF Ballet is up to the challenge. Plus, SF Ballet is such an ensemble company and Onegin is a story/ensemble driven ballet (vs a star driven ballet) so I think they are made for each other. I was dropping dead of excitement from the very moment SF Ballet said they were going to perform it this season!

I’ll make sure to let you know when I’m headed into town, I’d love to meet up some time! Having a day job is such a bummer when there is ballet to dance and to watch… I could stay up and talk about the performance for hours afterward. I’m pretty sure there is no such thing as a small time ballerina 😀
