Since seeing Karen Kain & Mikhail Baryshnikov AND TIME STOOD STILL I have had intense feelings of gratitude for ballet  
can't afford it now  
Please!

I would love for my sons to be able to attend the ballet and learn to appreciate new experiences!

I love being able to be whisked away to a beautiful story interpreted solely by dance. I also appreciate the orchestra music!

My parents have taken our daughter to the ballet almost every year since she started taking dance 12 years ago. Would be wonderful to take them for once

What's not to love? Dressing up, going out with wonderful people. The excitement of walking in the the building. The chatter. Waiting for the ballet to start. The soft buzz of the crowd. The curtain rises and the beauty begins. Costumes, music, dance. The heartbreak. Being swept away in the moment. The power of story through dance. Walking out feeling moved, like a piece of your soul has new meaning. Oh, ballet! How I love thee!

The ballet is so elegant and disciplined. It's beautiful how they use dance to tell the story

JackieT is good to go. I still haven't heard back from jmweb so there's going to be one more chance for someone else to get four tickets.  
 
Because the deadline for me to submit a name for the second pair of tickets is 5pm, the first member who had already entered above with a post to send me a private message with their first and last name (to be used only to give to the event to make sure they know who the tickets are for) will win the next set of four tickets. I will post to this thread once I have that winner.

Doh, too short of notice to find a last minute winner for the second set of tickets... Enjoy the show JackieT!

Hi everyone! For those who are still interested my other pair of friends can no longer come with us. So I have two tickets available to the first person who sends me a pm!! We can meet there. Don't want these tickets to go to waste!! So excited!

Too bad, I came to Winnipeg tonight otherwise I could be one of the secondary winners and among those people watching the ballet performance right now! ( Instead of sitting here surfing the Internet! )  
If I did not come to Winnipeg probably would pay and go to ballet to have nice time after while, but of course being a winner would be more exciting!  
Hope others enjoy the performance and have a memorable night.
