Ever consider celebrating Mother's Day beyond brunch and flowers? This year, try something new by joining me for a fun, live performance featuring a mash-up of Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty (with a new ending!). I will be performing in three pieces choreographed by Jerome Robbins for NYCB and Valentino Zucchetti for the Royal Ballet. 

I'm proud and excited to share the stage with a group of talented dancers who, like me, are real-life professionals in various fields such as tech, law, design, and medicine. Kathy Mata Ballet is based in San Francisco and has a specific mission to offer free live performances for the seniors' community.  

Your support and accompaniment means a lot to us.

Tickets are available HERE - Hope to see you there!
