Audrey is a student of mine at Sonoma Ballet Conservatory, and I was thrilled to be able to celebrate her 5th birthday with her and her adorable friends a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful day in Sonoma, and the Women's Center off the Sonoma Plaza provided a charming and quaint venue with a great little stage; it was the perfect setting for our Swan Lake themed Ballerina Birthday.
After reading the story of Odette and Prince Sigfried, the tutu clad cuties practiced stretching their swan wings, cast their own magic spells with ribbons and wands and lept over blue scarves (instead of swan lakes, swan puddles?). With two advanced dancers from Sonoma Ballet Conservatory assisting me and performing themselves (variations from Swan Lake and The Tales of Beatrix Potter to name a few) we made for a lovely group!
Audrey chose crowns as her craft and all the guests did a beautiful job with their creations, placing stickers and sequins just so. And it wouldn't be a Ballerina Birthday without cupcakes! Delicious and with pretty pink frosting, they were the perfect close to a fantastic party. Happy Birthday to Audrey and a big thanks to her family for including me in the celebrations!
