SFBS Class Observation (June 2010)
Tuesday, June 1:
AMS left her ballet shoes at YBCA, so she couldn’t participate in the class observation. She just had to sit by the piano for the entire class.
Thursday, June 3:
She found her ballet shoes at “Lost And Found” at the school! So she was able to dance in the class observation.

There will be one more class in the year!
SFBS 2010 Student Showcase
June 26, 27 and 28:
How exciting it is to get a chance to perform with the San Francisco Ballet School.

AMS will be in the Level II class dance demonstration on May 26, 27 and 28 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA), SF. A number of her friends (and their parents) will travel from Palo Alto to see her dance and give their support.
SFBS Class Observation (Jan 2010)

Jan 14, 2010 (San Francisco, CA). The first parent observation was most enjoyable. The remarkable thing was how well synchronized the whole class was. They looked like “Corps de Ballet” as they danced in perfect unison through complex sequences. So beautiful.
Her teacher is Yoira Esquivel Brito.
San Francisco Ballet School 2009 – 2010
AMS has been invited to attend formal ballet studies at SFBS for the 2009-2010 school year. She has been placed in the “Level 2 Girls – Technique” class. She’s therefore eligible to audition for the professional production of San Francisco Ballet’s “The Nutcracker”.
START: August 31, 2009
END: June 4, 2010
Ballet 2A Girls – Technique: Mon, Wed, Fri 5:45-7:00 pm
Ballet 2B Girls – Technique: Tue, Thu 5:45-7:00 pm & Sat 10:00-11:15 am
After auditioning two times before, AMS had a third audition on May 2. The following week, SFBS called and asked her to come back to join a Level 3 class for further evaluation. The class was clearly over her head but she did the best she could.
She received an invitation today (May 15) to attend the 2009-2010 school year in Level 2. We don’t know yet whether she’ll be in 2A or 2B.
CONGRATULATIONS!
