Sabra and Neil will appear in 3 performances of The Nutcracker this weekend in the American Academy of Ballet’s presentation of the holiday favorite at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 1 and 5 p.m. Sunday in the University at Buffalo Center for the Arts. The Buffalo News talked to Sabra about it:
Your ballet training is limited, and you’ve never danced in a ballet. How are you going to pull off “The Nutcracker”?
I’m not actually going to be in the ballet – thank God – because that would be embarrassing. This “Nutcracker” travels all over the world, so during [the Spanish segment] Neil and I will be doing the paso doble we did on the show, which is awesome, because I love that dance.
