All Tharp

All Tharp Is a ballet I went to last Friday for my friend Katie Alice's birthday. It was the first ballet I've ever been to that was over town. When we first got there we had to wait outside the theater in the gift shop (I didn't Know there would be a gift shop especially at a ballet).When we finally got to go in the seating was really cool. There were floor seats and then two more sets up above that, there were also some box seats on the sides. We sat in the floor seats which had a really good view of the stage.

There were three totally different parts to the ballet. The first part the dancers were on point. It was "interesting" the dancers were dressed in different earthy colors. That dance was like 5 to 10 minutes long. After that dance there was an intermission. We all went up to the lounge and hung out for awhile. There was also some food up in the lounge, we all dared each other to try the different types of weird cheeses.

The next dance they did was my favorite it was called Afternoon Ball (don't ask me why it was called that because it was nothing like an afternoon ball). In this dance the people were trying to be funny and it worked. I don't know what story they were trying to tell but I think it might be, one guy had a girl and this other guy was trying to get her attention and when he did the girl ran off with him (this is the sad part) the other guy like got all depressed because he couldn't dance with the girl anymore then he died. Ya I no kind of a weird way to plan out a story that's supposed to be funny.

Then the third and final part of the ballet was a bunch of different pairs of people ballroom dancing. I have to say this part was really boring all the ballroom dances were pretty much the same just with different music. One girl got the heal of her shoe stuck in her dress but she got it off. The only thing I really liked about the last dances was that there was a disco ball.

I love funny dances, they're my favorite too. I've been that ballet bbefore and it was really fun. I get to go about 6 times a year, and I often see Katie there! Ounce I went and it was Romeo and Juliet. I go with my grandma, it's very fun.

You remembered your experience well. I enjoy watching Island ballet. I should try one over town.
