  So I wasn't expecting this show to be of Ballet San Jose company caliber since it is a student performance, but I was very impressed by the professionalism, artistry and technique in these ballets. Invitation to the Dance was the first, a delightfully elegant and beyond-sweet classical ballet. All students danced well, especially the lead boy, whom I'm sure will have no trouble landing a company position when he graduates. The statuesque soloist paired with the almost-too-perfect-to-be-true littlest ballerina in the end, respectively wise and talented beyond their years, summed up the elegance and dream of this ballet. Kudos to Choreographer Dalia Rawson. The second ballet, Silly Simon, at times had more mime than dance, but was clever and VERY entertaining. Gorgeous costumes, and very thoughtful timing. The training in Lise Lacour's Ballet School is clearly taken seriously. These kids are going places! Nice bonus to have professional guest artists too. Collapse
