Date ideas
You sit next to each other as the music begins. Dancers perform on stage and tell a story through movement. A ballet performance gives you a break from normal evenings and a new topic to discuss on the way home. These eight ideas show different ways to make a full date around the show. Some keep things local and cheap. Others add travel or food. Choose based on what fits your schedule and interests. You do not need special knowledge to have a good time at the theater.

Action
Pack a few simple foods and drinks the afternoon of the show. Find a park or bench near the theater to eat together. Use the meal to discuss what you know about the ballet. This step turns the outing into more than just the performance itself.
Pro-Tip
Choose foods that are easy to eat without making a mess. Include napkins and a small bag to carry everything.
Spicy Twist
Sit close on the bench and share the food from one container. The casual start sets a relaxed tone for the night.
