Pacific Midwest Ballet

We're dancing into our final two performances of Cupcake Murders, a Ballet!

Come to the bakery (aka Augsburg Mainstage) this Thursday at 8:30 or Saturday at 4. Tickets are available at the door or for presale here: https://www.fringefestival.org/2022-show-information/cupcake-murders-a-ballet

Please be a little early! Fringe policy prohibits late seating.

Our cast features continue with Risikat Shon, who will be dancing in our cupcake corps!

-Why did you want to dance with Pacific Midwest Ballet?

I'm an adult learner. I love ballet, but I didn't think there would be a space for me to try performing. PMB created that opportunity and is helping me broaden my horizons.

-Where do you train?

I take classes at Minnesota Dance Theatre and Zenon Dance School.

-What's your dream role?

I'd love to be one of the willis in Giselle. It's nice to punish men sometimes 😀

-What is your favorite flavor of cupcake?

Vanilla--with sprinkles!

-What is your day job?

I am head of communications for the City of Brooklyn Park.

Were you wanting a better view of that secret baker handshake we showed? You're in luck! alexis_lund_photography captured some lovely images from a recent rehearsal. This top-secret maneuver requires complete concentration from our three bakery owners!
