Inside the Dancer's Life: Black Swan and Beyond

On Wednesday, September 7 Diablo Ballet will present a free, hour long talk on the lives and careers of ballet dancers.  Join us in the 2nd floor Oak View Room to learn what it takes to make it in this demanding profession.

Dancers from Diablo Ballet of Walnut Creek will provide a behind-the-scenes talk about their work and lives in the company and as professional dancers.  Did the movie "Black Swan" get it right? Also joining this discussion will be Toba Singer, dance critic and author of First Position.
