There's going to be local beers, available before, during and after the show. What kind of ballet will people be seen while they eat and drink # This will actually be new works choreographed by two of the company dancers and one guest artists, so we have Jared Nelson from the Washington ballet, he is doing a duet inspired by Samson and Delilah and that is going to have a live singer and he is also doing a piece by a Hoosier song take me to church, and then company dancer Jeremy Zapanta is doing been yet inspired by Japanese animated, and in a popular local dancer Trystan Merrick is doing a classical piece and he is also dancing the pas de deux from Swan Lake. .This is a different way for the California ballet to do the showcase they do every year? Yes. Every year they have the on the bar and that is a chance for the dancers to show off their choreography and try some new stuff and it is popular with all of the other ballet companies also, I think everyone likes to break out and explore.
