#85 Go to the Ballet 12/3/11

As my Christmas (early) this year Jason bought tickets to the Nutcracker Ballet.  Tsiolkovsky is one of my favorite classical composers, so this was a double treat.

I didn't realize that I could bring my camera, so all I had was my phone to take pictures at the Orpheum.  I had a really good time.  There were children from local Minnesota dance studios dancing with the dance troop.  At times I found myself watching them instead of the professionals.  That might be because Jenni has been in dance for years and I have sat at quite a few recitals.  I was amazed at the dancer that would walk around the stage holding the ballerina with one hand above his head.  There were also some great jumps by the men.  They would look like they floating for a few seconds when they did leaps.  I would definitely go back.  I had a great time!!!  Thank you so much Jason for the great Christmas present!!
