  Speaker 2: went to one. You invited us out to one, and
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: I tell you what I believe. Yeah, that was my
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: first experience actually with the ballet. And we went to
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: the Smith Center, so very nice facility, very nice place.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: So tell us more about what you do.
• 42:28
  Speaker 15: I love I love to do that, so I have
• 42:32
  Speaker 15: had the absolute It's heavenly I get to work for
• 42:36
  Speaker 15: Nevada Ballet Theater, which is going into its fifty fourth
• 42:41
  Speaker 15: season here in Las Vegas. It is truly nothing short
• 42:45
  Speaker 15: of miraculous to have a nonprofit performing arts organization that
• 42:50
  Speaker 15: has reached that birthday and continues to grow and serve
• 42:56
  Speaker 15: our community with this.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Gorgeous art form.
• 42:59
  Speaker 15: And we've got such incredible productions in this year our
• 43:03
  Speaker 15: season finale at the Smith Center that you had an
• 43:07
  Speaker 15: opportunity to enjoy is Peter Pan amazing, awesome for the
• 43:13
  Speaker 15: whole family. And what's really cool about this one is
• 43:17
  Speaker 15: that it's a collaboration between three different ballet companies that
• 43:22
  Speaker 15: literally got Emma Bailey, who is the creator of the
• 43:26
  Speaker 15: Broadway hit six, and she created the costumes and all
• 43:32
  Speaker 15: of the sets. So one day I come into the
• 43:34
  Speaker 15: ballet and there are these big yellow eyeballs that are
• 43:38
  Speaker 15: staring at me, and I was like, whoa, it's a
• 43:41
  Speaker 15: twenty four foot long crocodile. And in our warehouse there's
• 43:46
  Speaker 15: a ship with a huge sail, and there are the
• 43:50
  Speaker 15: costumes for Captain Hook and Wendy and Peter Pan and
• 43:57
  Speaker 15: then layered on all of that, of course, is the music,
• 44:00
  Speaker 15: the athleticism of the dancers. I it's just unbelievable. If
• 44:05
  Speaker 15: I could give everyone the experience of coming to the ballet,
• 44:08
  Speaker 15: that's my dream come true. It's bringing those moments of
• 44:12
  Speaker 15: magic to our community. And we're we'll be doing this
• 44:16
  Speaker 15: for about two weekends. It's from April the nineteenth through

• 47:12
  Speaker 15: So the first week I was at the ballet, I
• 47:15
  Speaker 15: had a wonderful gentleman who was hooking up my computer
• 47:19
  Speaker 15: and I asked him, didn't I see you in the studio?
• 47:22
  Speaker 15: He said, yeah, I danced professionally. And I asked him
• 47:26
  Speaker 15: a question, which was, well, why do you dance professionally
• 47:30
  Speaker 15: when you could also do it? And he said something
• 47:33
  Speaker 15: that really I still carry with me wherever I go,
• 47:37
  Speaker 15: and he said, time is short, life is precious. What
• 47:40
  Speaker 15: better way to use my gifts than to bring extraordinary
• 47:43
  Speaker 15: moments into everyday lives? And so I really would love
• 47:49
  Speaker 15: you all to come to a ballet, even if you've
• 47:53
  Speaker 15: never been to one before. It is something very special
• 47:58
  Speaker 15: to see the athleticism, the artistic layers, from the sets
• 48:03
  Speaker 15: to the costumes, to the physical to the musical. It's
