Ballet group co-founder throws first pitch at Marlins game

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (WSVN) -- The Miami City Ballet took part in Sunday's Florida Marlins game.

The ballet's co-founder, Toby Ansin, donned a tutu as she threw the first pitch during Miami City Ballet Day at Sun Life Stadium, Sunday afternoon.

Ansin was joined by ballerinas as she danced to the mound. "This is so exciting," Ansin said. "It's my first ball to throw out, and I didn't drop it, and I'm here for Miami City Ballet and the Playground Theater, two wonderful groups in this community."

The group later posed for pictures with Billy the Marlin.
