On Sunday night we went to the Citi Center “Fall for Dance Festival“. This year there were 20 elite dance artists and companies from around the world. Don and I chose to see the Sarasota Ballet performing “Les Patineurs” by Sir Frederich Ashton. It is a 1937 work depicting a Victorian Era ice skating party.

Intermission…..time for a Champagne tipple.
The restored ceiling is gorgeous
Mezzanine seats……good views
Waiting for the curtain to rise…..
Persian all the way.
The set was borrowed from the Royal Ballet and my friend Doug flew over from London to set up the stage for this performance. The Donald and I saw it performed in London years ago……..and we still enjoy it.
