Romeo and Juliet

My sisters, Becki and Deborah, and I went to the ballet! We went to see the Pacific Northwest Ballet perform Romeo and Juliet in downtown Seattle. Actually we didn't see the actual performance. We went to what is called "five buck fridays". Once a month the company does an in studio, 1 hour long performance of one of the acts of the upcoming ballet. They set up 3 rows of bleachers for the crowd. It was awesome to see the dancers so close. I liked looking at how muscular their bodies are. No one has a butt like a ballet dancer! It was cool to think that dancing is their career. Deborah told me that this particular company sets up a fund for their dancers so that when they are done with their short ballet career (probably 10 years), they have money to go to college for their second career. And I learned that the score to the Romeo and Juliet ballet is always the same, like The Nutcracker or swan Lake always have the same score. It was very cool. Thanks for taking us Deb!
