DNShannon_kickstarter_MAINLast week I filmed a Kickstarter video to raise money so San Francisco ballet can participate in the upcoming World Ballet Day live. The event is very exciting and I am thrilled to be one of the dancers to speak on behalf of the company.

Being in front of a camera was a surprising challenge! It is a totally different kind of audience than what I’m used to. I had to focus my attention in one place (the camera lens) rather than to an entire opera house full of people. Speaking is not always comfortable for me as a dancer because I rarely speak as a ballerina. This was a fun experience and was good for me to get out of my comfort zone. Check out the video and watch world ballet day live on October 1, 2014!
