Sleeping Beauty


On Friday night, we went to the ballet.  It cost us $10 for great tickets at the back of the ground floor.  Ukrainian ballerinas are the best! The music, the costumes, and the dancing were all breathtaking.  Sleeping Beauty is by Chykovsky.  We picked that in part because we wanted to see a real Russian ballet while we were there.  I watched the entire thing, mesmerized.  Chauncey enjoyed it too, but he fell asleep somewhere in the middle.  He missed the part where sleeping beauty pricks her finger and falls asleep, and where the evil sorceress and her minions (who were dressed like creepy rats), reveal themselves, but I recorded it.  Here is a short clip.  Enjoy!
