Alexandra Cunningham makes a sweeping performance as The Sacramento Ballet presents "Cinderella." This ballet has a rich history and not just as a fairytale. Co-artistic directors Ron Cunningham and Carinne Binda were the first American choreographers to bring their version of the ballet to the People's Republic of China after the Cultural Revolution. They danced in it - she as Cinderella, he as one of the "step sisters." The original ballet was last performed in Sacramento in 1997. -
