If you've visited us or browsed the Village this past week, you may have noticed beautiful ballet costumes in our windows! We're so thrilled to have these amazing pieces on display.

Talk about (really)vintage-inspired garments! This ballet's style is right up our alley.
Praise for R + J:
"Romeo and Juliet leaves you longing for a few more pages of music and another lovers' pas de deux."
-The Winnipeg Sun
This ballet adaptation of the timeless tale first premiered on the Royal Winnipeg Ballet stage on September 30th, 1981 (RWB's blog will tell you all about it). 23 years later, R + J are back!

| Note: the pink dress on the far left is not a ballet costume; it's one of our dresses! It is definitely ballerina-inspired, and would be a sweet outfit to wear to R + J or on your Valentine's Day date! |
Romeo + Juliet plays at the Centennial Concert Hall February 12-16.

How great is it that we live in a city where we can see a classic Shakespearean tragic love story set to music and transformed by a professional ballet company?
Being a Winnipegger can be pretty great.
Come on down and see us to win your free tickets to R + J!
