- The Company returns to studios today after their 8-week hiatus following the end of the 2009 season.  The dancers will hit the ground running with rehearsals of Michel Fokine’s Petrouchka and Christopher Wheeldon’s 2010 world premiere.  Both Wheeldon and Isabelle Fokine, the granddaughter of Michel Fokine, are onsite to set these ballets.

- San Francisco Ballet School’s five-week Summer Session is in its third week, and 455 Franklin St is buzzing with students from all over the country.  Did you know the School now has its own Facebook page?  Click here to become a fan and see pictures from a recent Summer Session excursion to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.

- Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 16 when SF Ballet will perform for free at Stern Grove Festival!  Be sure to arrive early to get a good spot and enjoy ballet in the open air with friends over a picnic.
