Wow I am behind on my blogging! Hopefully I can get a few posts written tonight and then post them in the next few days!
Last Friday night, my friend and I went to see Hubbard Street Dance Company's Fall Series performance. We both are ballerinas and we need to see two performances for our ballet class so we thought might as well! We decided that day to go and got student rush tickets.

It was so much fun getting dressed up and having a purpose for going downtown! The show was very good! I had not seen many contemporary ballet performances before, besides the occasional Cincinnati Ballet shows, so it was a different experience.
The dancers can definitely move their bodies. I was shocked how much control they had of different muscles and body parts. The show had 4 different pieces- each with their own style. I think my favorite was a duet between two females because it showcased the strength and beauty each one had.
After Hubbard we went to Magnolia Bakery. I love sweets- especially cupcakes. I got the snow cap cupcake and Laura got the carrot cake cupcake.
I would suggest both of them, but I really liked the chocolate cake from the snow cap and the frosting of the carrot cake. I love how many bakeries there are in Chicago. I will be trying as many as I can. Any suggestions?
Hubbard Street is definitely something that I will see in the future! Next week I am seeing Joffrey Chicago's La Bayadere, so look for that post next Sunday!
