Once a dancer, always a dancer! 🩰 Whether watching in the audience or performing on the stage, we loved having our alumni come back for our Spring Rep this past spring! 🌷

A tutu photo seems very fitting for this two’s filled Tuesday. This one is just one of our Sugar Plum tutus from the Nutcracker. It is used practically every year during our production and is honestly a staple in VDT tutu looks.

Of course how can you pay homage to tutus without the long ones? This photo is from a VDT rendition of Pas de Quatre. This particular dance was first done in 1845 and featured 4 of the major ballerinas at the time, Marie Taglioni, Lucile Grahn, Carlotta Grisi, and Fanny Cerrito.

Another tutu from Sleeping Beauty. This one is actually sleeping beauty though! Personally, this one is very classic and beautiful. This photo is from the Rose Adagio Pas where Aurora is partnered by four different people and balances for an extensive amount of time. It is a jaw dropping pas.

Does anyone else see 12 tutus? These are from our production of Sean Lake a few years ago. The photo is from the infamous Entrance of the Swans which comes equipped with many lines and loving limbs decked out in white and feathers.

While national tutu day may have passed that does not mean the VDT doesn’t still want to share of some of our favorite tutus with you. This one is for the Lilac Fairy in Sleeping Beauty. The Lilac Fairy in the story ends up being forced to reverse the curse bestowed upon Aurora as her gift, instead of beauty as the fairy wanted. The presence of the whole character is very magical and just exudes beauty doesn’t it?

Happy World from the Valley Dance Theatre! Who can guess which production this tutu is from? Here's a hint: 🩰🦢

Tamara Rojo has been appointed the next artistic director and first woman to lead San Francisco Ballet. Rojo, a celebrated director, dancer, and choreographer, comes to San Francisco with a depth of experience and a creative vision that will further elevate SF Ballet’s trailblazing role in dance. As artistic director and lead principal at English National Ballet, Rojo has raised the company’s profile through excellence and innovation, garnering awards and accolades, and championing female choreographers. “I’m excited to join SF Ballet to add to the innovative spirit of the company and this community as we reassess what the future of ballet can and should look like," she says, "and opening the best of what our artform can offer to widest possible audience."
Rojo will succeed Helgi Tomasson, who has led SF Ballet for 37 years and will retire after the 2022 Season. “I look forward to the innovative and forward-thinking ideas that Tamara will bring to SF Ballet,” says Tomasson. “I am confident the Company will continue to thrive under her leadership.”
