Girls Night at the Ballet

I had the pleasure of joining Jennifer and her sister Melissa at McCaw Hall for the Contemporary 4 ballet on Friday and had a blast. I'd never been to the ballet before and after seeing Black Swan, I wanted the opportunity to see a ballet in person so Jennifer's invite several weeks later was perfect timing and has been something I've been looking forward to for quite some time.

What I really liked about this show was that it wasn't what you'd expect with a traditional ballet --- the costumes, the choreography and many of the song choices were very unique, and obviously much more contemporary that what you'd expect from the ballet. This is what I found most exciting, especially in the third (The Piano Dance) and forth (Concerto DSCH) sets.

We had a great time, and though I didn't get any photos of the three of us, here are a few photos of the show, courtesy of various sites local sites.
