"Rumor has it that Ebenezer Scrooge himself was once spotted exiting Smuin Contemporary Ballet's annual holiday show, smiling ear to ear. Of course, all gossip about the nocturnal adventures of Mr. Scrooge have to be taken with a grain of salt, but we wouldn't be a bit surprised if it were true. Smuin Contemporary Ballet's annual Christmas Ballet is one of the Bay Area's most enjoyable and impressive winter season productions, fueled by the company's first-rate ballet and contemporary dance moves."
"This year's program features brand new works by choreographer Julia Adam (who runs the dance company that bears her name); Smuin artistic director Amy Seiwert, a revered Bay Area dancemaker; and San Francisco Ballet soloist Myles Thatcher. These will join several Smuin Contemporary Ballet classic works including Santa Baby, a sassy, beloved work that employs what is described as the world's longest boa. Smuin will kick off its Christmas Ballet tour with performances Nov. 22-23 at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek."
