Ballet Tucson celebrates

susan40 USA_flag Posted by Susan Kim | via mobile phone

Ballet Tucson celebrates the hard work of their ‘Seniors’–those graduating from high school–prior to the last performance of their spring season by bestowing upon them symbolic gifts to wish them well on their post-graduate journeys and adventures.

Gifts this year included: snowflakes (because each is unique), rocks (to represent strength), leis (that they’ll remember to have fun) and fancy, lacy (under)pants (so they remember they are always beautiful (and sexy?)). What a touching tradition!

Awww, that IS a great tradition! :D
But how do you give someone a snowflake without letting it melt? :-S
Or were they paper or plastic snowflakes, like the ones you can hang in a christmas tree?
Hm, I guess that makes more sense… Sorry, I’m a bit weird sometimes..! ;)

I stumbled upon this picture and thought, “Hey! that’s Cheiko…. oh! and that’s me!” It’s so great that you posted this - We love this tradition, and having finally been the “senior” myself, I have to say, it was incredibly touching to see how much your ballet family loves and supports you.
