#49 complete: go to the ballet

student tickets saved us (renee, florecita, angel & leslie) $45/each. we got all dolled up and made our way to van ness and grove to the war memorial building- the home of the opera and the ballet in sf.

i love hearing the sound the pointe shoes make on the hard floor when the music isn't playing. it makes it real, and that much more beautiful. it was almost a squeaky noise. they made it look so easy, as they were lifted to and from and their legs went in every which direction. the jazz element mixed with the modern ballet was incredibly entertaining, too. though, you could tell the audience favorite was the classic part as they gasped when the curtain rose to twenty-four ballerinas standing on pointe with their white tutus- a tremendous statement and impact.

oh yeah, i got the job today. [wooooohoooooo!]
