Our Guild Members love all things NUTCRACKER!

This year, Ballet West really expanded their merchandise to include ugly sweaters, ties and scarfs with images designed by BW staff member Mika Seltenrich!

Get them before they’re gone. Last year, Ballet West ran out of the cute NUTCRACKER socks!

Thank you to the dear Family and Friends of Cindy

Thank you to the dear Family and Friends of Cindy Farrimond who shared wonderful aspects of her life and legacy with us today at the service in her honor.

It was so awesome to see so many Dancers and members of BW Artistic and Administrative Staff (past and present) in attendance, like circles of extended families.

Thank you also, BW Guild Members for showing your love and support for Cindy’s legacy.

Awesome selections of music illustrated Cindy’s love for life and a bit of her special spice in life.

Lots of love back to you Cindy. True love lasts.

We hope you’ll visit The Nutcracker Giving Tree in

We hope you’ll visit The Nutcracker Giving Tree in the lobby of Capitol Theatre during Ballet West’s run of Willam Christensen’s THE NUTCRACKER!

The tree is covered with pointe shoes signed by our Ballet West artists. See if you can find the pointe shoes of your favorite dancers!

When you visit The Nutcracker Giving Tree, there is also an opportunity to participate in a collective gift to the Frederick Quinney Lawson Ballet West Academy In Memory of Robert Arbogast who was a Principal Dancer with Ballet West and later a beloved Member and President of Ballet West Guild. Simply scan the QR code on the posted signage.

Performance tickets are available at www.balletwest.org. You can also purchase great merch at the Ballet West Boutique… like Brent’s awesomely ugly sweater, which is actually rather handsome with images designed by Ballet West staff member Mika Seltenrich!

We invite you to learn more about Ballet West Guild and our initiatives to support Ballet West’s artistic vision and educational outreach at www.balletwestguild.org.

Thank you to our Giving Tree Chair Nancy Wingelaar and her committee for working to install the tree. It is indeed a labor of love.

Part of our tradition at the Guild’s Annual Holida

Part of our tradition at the Guild’s Annual Holiday Gathering and Gift Exchange is inviting folks to “Stuff Robert’s Stocking.”

This is a contribution to the Guild’s annual collective gift to the Frederick Quinney Lawson Ballet West Academy In Memory of Robert Arbogast who was a Principal Dancer with Ballet West and later a beloved Member and President of Ballet West Guild.

This year, our Scholarship Chair Dee Gauss knitted a new, custom stocking for us to STUFF. It’s beautifully symbolic of Utah, Ballet West, and the Guild’s endearing love and appreciation for Robert Arbogast.

We invite you to share in this collective gift, visit www.balletwestguild.org

Ballet West Guild Members obviously love Willam Christensen’s THE NUTCRACKER!

Our spirited gift “exchange” continued into Sunday afternoon with another popular item being this clear glass Nutcracker. Very pretty!

Renee stole it from Cyndalynn and then Glen stole it from Renee in a delightful reflection of the Fritz and Clara dynamic of Act One of THE NUTCRACKER!

Our Annual Holiday Gathering and Gift Exchange is always a ton of fun!

This year, the “exchange” part was pretty fiesty. One of the most popular items was this “Twelve Days of Christmas” throw pillow.

Claire Turner lost it to Jon Hansen. Claire said it was so cruel to steel her crewel... 😅

Ah, December...
