On Friday night, Ethnie performed in The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The Classical Ballet Academy opened for Ballet Minnesota as part of this year's MN Music Festival. She had a small part as a 'night creature' and did an excellent job! It's amazing to me how these 4-6 year-olds get up on stage in a filled auditorium and dance. Like usual, I volunteered backstage. It's my favorite part about the performances (other than watching my daughter, of course). I LOVE being backstage watching the company dancers warm up. It's chaotic, but exciting. The only disappointing part is that I have a limited opportunity to take photos. That means having to snap off as many as I can in a crowded dressing room in difficult lighting.
getting ready!
