On
July 2, 2018, I attended my first ballet performance by the American Ballet
Theater company at Lincoln Center in New York City. It was a last minute on the
whim plan to go out after work and enjoy myself. You would think that there
would be plenty of performances to check out especially in during the summer
months, but not all of them were able to fit my budget like this show did.
