Abby's Thoughts: One of my finer moments on the stage was during a Nutcracker performance in Fresno, CA with the Fresno Ballet. I was dancing the Arabian pas de deux when a serious costume malfunction occurred. The audience began to giggle and I began to feel a draft on my thighs. My pants were falling down. There was no getting them to stay up so my partner and I did some improvisational choreography and he carried me off the stage. Some things you just can't rehearse for!
