I had been largely turned off by the local SMUIN Ballet Co.’s stripper-esque dance posters and risque branding (blame it on years as a rat in The Toledo Ballet’s Nutcracker, or not understanding what audience they were trying to reach). But, this being le saison, I’ll be giving their holiday program at the Yerba Beuna Center for the Arts a go. It opens on December 17 with a program that combines classics and “sexy cool Christmas” (naturally, there will be drinks, and is a raffle prize from Bar Method any suprise?).
