“He was a punk AND did ballet”: Tony Hawk makes guest appearance in performance of “The Nutcracker”

Skateboard legend Tony Hawk made an unexpected guest appearance at the Golden State Ballet’s performance of The Nutcracker on Dec 20. The show took place at the San Diego Civic Center in Southern California, and social media posts announcing the collaboration with the pro skater went out only nine days before the performance.

Tony Hawk does ballet…kind of

For the most part, the production of The Nutcracker unfolded as usual until Hawk made his first guest appearance.
