So we just started this blog, but I didn't want to leave out the following: Looking back to the holidays for a moment, it seemed fitting to mention a wonderful opportunity Sasha had to perform this past December 23rd in Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, Eugene's annual Christmas performance by the Eugene Ballet Company at the Hult Center. Taking a ballet class was great fun, but to do so at a ballet school in which the culmination is a performance in a world class professional venue for a 7 year old is a great treat. Sasha, and her fellow ballet-mates, were angels this year, opening the Second Act with a dramatic curtain rise with dry ice pouring out over the stage as the curtain was lifted. It was very thrilling to see her perform for over 2400 people! Sasha was a natural with no stage fright whatsoever!
