Outdoor ballet performance

Tonight Dan and I went to a free outdoor performance by the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre at Hartwood Acres. The night was just beautiful. We could see the stars through a thin layer of clouds. Cool and warm breezes swirled around. Smells of cheese and wine reached our noses. (Why didn't we think of bringing snacks!?!) Kids threw frisbees. The audience lounged on blankets and camp chairs. Dogs lay on the grass. One man even brought his pet snake. The snake was wrapped around his upper body and was really big. We weren't sure what that was about.
The dancing was beautiful. They danced to a variety of music from modern to classical. There were solo dances, then some with about twenty dancers.

We couldn't think of anyone who would not have enjoyed it. They are performing the same program tomorrow night at the Cranberry Community Park. Click here for more info. I would highly recommend it if you're in the mood for a relaxing, enjoyable summer evening.
