✨A Midsummer Nights Dream 2024✨ I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to perform George Balanchine’s version of “A Midsummer Nights Dream” as one of Oberon’s bugs with @sfballet on the @sfwarmemorial stage! This production was so fun to relive and very thankful to have worked with @sjennings304 and be able to wear these beautiful costumes designed by @lacroixofficiel! 🪲 I’m a little hidden in this picture. 😂 . @sfballet @sfballetschool #sfballet #sfballetschool #ballet #midsummernightsdream #15 #elisepickert
We got caught in the pouring rain without an umbrella ☔️ but it was totally worth it to see this production one more time! Dashiell wanted to see the show and support his friends on stage, and let’s be honest the cutie bugs were definitely a highlight! Bravo to everyone on stage, absolutely spectacular!!!!! #midsummernightsdream #sfballet #sfballetschool #amazing #bravo
Wow wow wow!!! Opening night of Midsummer Night’s Dream was absolutely stunning!!! A feast for the eyes, ears and soul!!!! The set and costumes designed by Christian Lacroix on loan from Paris Opera Ballet made the production absolutely magical! Beautiful dancing from the company and the students! They were amazing!!! #sfballet #sfballetschool #ballet
One perk of training here at #SFBalletSchool are the various opportunities to perform onstage with @sfballet. Right now you can catch our students in Tomasson's #SwanLake through Sunday. Next up, you'll see a number of students in Balanchine's A Midsummer Nigiht's Dream! #discoversfballet

Lovely to experience this artistic, future forward conversation last night with the extraordinary Joseph Walsh & Manny - and to meet Joe after and snap this fun pic with #sfballetschool student and #sfballet principal dancer (!)
After a meteoric rise from young student to trainee and through the ranks of the Company, SF Ballet School Alumna Jasmine Jimison has been promoted to Principal Dancer of @sfballet! @rojotamara came onstage last night and shared: "As an artistic director, few things are more rewarding than seeing an artist develop and grow. And over the last 15 months, I've had the pleasure to see this artist embrace so many new roles, from the romantic Giselle, to the tragic Juliette, to performing every single lead role in Nutcracker this season, to tonight stepping into the shoes of Margot Fonteyn. Please join me in celebrating our newest principal ballerina, Jasmine Jimson!" #sfballetschool #discoversfballet

Since 2018 I am collaborating as a judge with the Youth America Grand Prix and thrilled to have shared my time in Barcelona, where 400 talented dancers showcased their passion and dedication. The competition was nothing short of intense, setting the stage for the grand finale in New York this April, celebrating YAGP’s 25th anniversary. As the Associate Director of the Trainee Program at San Francisco Ballet School, it is a privilege to witness and support the growth of these amazing dedicated young dancers. Here’s to the power of artistry and the boundless possibilities that dance brings into our lives! The cherry on the cake was also to see my mum at the same time! Grateful and priceless moments in Barcelona. Thank you Luke and April for these pictures;) @yagp @yagpbarcelona @rebeccaking88 @aprilwexelman @sfballetschool @gmadholmes @thelkstudio #YAGPBarcelona #DancePassion #SFBallet #ArtistryUnleashed #sfballetschool
