Today we indulge in original works created just for SLB. Performing here are two SLB Alumni dancers, Kate Rouzer and Michael McGonegal in this original ballet created on them by Christopher d'Amboise. This piece was a crowd favorite drawing you into the relationship between the two characters with mystery and passion. Pandora's Box was last performed in February 2018 during SLB's Valentine Series "Love Stories". >>Support SLB now and its future original works by giving something today at stlouisballet.org. @kate.rouzer @moonbean1988 #lovestories
