The San Fransisco Ballet Trainees performed at Roble Studio in “An Afternoon of Dance” as part of the collaboration between SF Ballet and Stanford Dance Division.

It was a rare experience to watch such talented dancers up close, hear their stories, see their personalities, and learn about their training: their favorite food, rigorous & packed schedules, dancing to, and choreographing pieces based on music from friends.
