The Waltz of the Flowers in San Francisco Ballet's Nutcracker...We know that many of you in the Spokane area took the opportunity to see Alberta Ballet's production of the Nutcracker earlier this month, and enjoyed it very much. Now, just days before Christmas 2008, PBS will be presenting two versions of the Nutcracker Ballet on TV, and Studio Director Janine Fraser wants our Inland Northwest Ballet dancers to know about them...Record the ballets (there are two different versions) so your child can watch whenever he or she wants, or sit as a family and watch them together, either way, don't miss them...:)
Here are the viewing times for both the San Francisco Ballet and the Royal Ballet productions...
