Here are a few things you may not know about Sarasota Ballet Director Iain Webb:

  • He was born in the North of England and his life story is "eerily" similar to "Billy Elliot," though he's never had any communication with the movie producers.
  • He's never seen "Black Swan" and says "Dancing with the Stars" has had a bigger impact.
  • Says he might have reconsidered whether his company should go to  Ballet Across America III it had it been at the Met in New York, rather than at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.  Because of the youth of the company.

Tonight is The Sarasota Ballet's final performance of several world premieres by company dancers in "Theatre of Dreams."
