The Smuin Ballet presents this year's spring series, featuring three diverse works that showcase the company's skill and exemplify the fresh and youthful spirit of spring. From choreographer Helen Pickett, who studied as a dancer under Michael Smuin at the San Francisco Ballet School, comes the West Coast premiere of Petal, an effervescent piece set to music by Philip Glass and Thomas Montgomery Newman, that was called "the perfect piece for spring" by Atlanta Magazine. Darrell Grand Moultrie gives Bay Area audiences their first look at his JAZZIN', a sultry ballet set to jazz music by Wynton Marsalis, Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and Andy Razaf. Finally, Michael Smuin's romantic and lovely Chants d'Auvergne is a series of solos, duets, trios and ensemble pieces set to traditional French songs arranged by Joseph Cantaloube. Learn More
Reviews & Ratings
Report as inappropriateIt was very entertaining and visually spectacular. Besides being excellent musicians, they had quite versatile performers including feats of comedy and acrobatics. My 2 year old loved dancing in the aisles and bouncing around. My 4 year old got tired after a while and preferred to play out by the fountain outside -- he's fickle sometimes. You certainly can't say the show wasn't stimulating.
Report as inappropriateSO much fun. A misleading band name- my 5, 7 and 8 yr old all love them and think it's the best concert ever! I recommend for older kids even more than the young ones. The lyrics are very clever and funny for adults as well. The tunes are remakes of some of our favorite (rock) songs from our own youth.
Report as inappropriateLoved the high energy, big balls being thrown around and definitely catered to 2-7 year olds (at times, adults were having more fun than the kids!).

Description
Dubbed "every parent's favorite kid rock band" by the San Francisco Chronicle, The Sippy Cups are an original Bay Area phenomenon that has gone nationwide. To the delight of cool kids and their grown-ups everywhere, the band has staged family matinees and garnered critical acclaim at some of the most renowned rock clubs, prestigious music festivals, and a variety of performing arts centers across the country. Blending kid-friendly covers from the likes of The Velvet Underground and The Ramones with their own like-minded originals, and featuring an interactive, circus-style stage show, The Sippy Cups throw a magical rock & roll party for kids of all ages - a hipster parent's dream of a child's first live concert. This event will also provide a "sneak-peek" into The Sippy Cups eagerly awaited third full length album, to be titled The Time Machine, with release expected in early 2009.
About the Ticket Supplier: The Sippy Cups
Created by three dads living in a coastal town just south of San Francisco, The Sippy Cups' first gig was a fundraiser for a community-built playground in their neighborhood. Just two years later, all their concerts sold out in advance, their CDs flew off the shelves, and critical acclaim hailed from the likes of the San Francisco Chronicle, ABC-TV, the New York Post, and Time magazine. The powerful formula of The Sippy Cups' early success lies in their equal appeal to parents and children and a play list from The Beatles, Velvet Underground, Bowie, The Ramones and others. To top it off, their imaginative original tunes are climbing the kid radio charts and being sung by kids around the country. The San Francisco Chronicle called them "every parent's favorite kid rock band and quite possibly the illegitimate offspring of The Cat in the Hat and Joey Ramone."
