In the world of Bay Area ballet, Michael Smuin’s Christmas Ballet is one of the most sought-after events (and tickets) around. Soloist Myles Thatcher challenges rigid ballet gender norms with an unparalleled exuberance, and the fluidity of this seasonal regional gem changes every season with new works by Julia Adam (Dance Director), and Amy Seiwert (Artistic Director) leading the way. And what is a holiday event without Santa Baby sliding down the chimney with a shimmering, provocative sexiness that is missing from other productions. Performances go through Sunday.
