  1. Thank you, California! I did not know that. Makes me more grateful for Gelsey's Clara being recorded.
  2. Way back in 2009 Veronika Part was promoted to principal in April, effective May 18, after performing Odette/Odile in DC and London.
  3. 🤣🤣🤣 Glad to know I wasn't the only one who felt Ivan should have ended up with the Firebird!
  4. The little Nutcracker Prince dancing along in the wings is my favorite part of the footage!!
  5. for everyone's wonderful reports and observations! Thank you! I particularly enjoyed reading about the many debuts this season for Royal, Curley, Forster, Han, Frenette, Ischuk, Misseldine, Brandt, and Hurlin.
  6. Am I correct in assuming there won't be turnover in the company once Susan Jaffe takes over which could potentially make room for promotions?
  7. Have the swan maidens always worn black in Balanchine's Swan Lake? Is there a particular reason for this choice?
  8. With the absolute mess figure skating has been this Olympics, I'm genuinely over the moon for Sui and Han winning gold in pairs after coming up just short in 2018!
  9. Really enjoyed your report, cubanmiamiboy!
  10. I tip my hat again to PA Ballet for their Resilience digital program! "And So It Is" wasn't my cup of tea, but it was nice to see Jermel Johnson. So Jung Shin stole the spotlight in "Polyphonia." "Raymonda Suite" looked beautiful -- set, costumes, lighting. I found Dayesi Torriente mesmerizing in the clapping variation (my least favorite of Raymonda's solos). "Allegro Brillante" was the best of the mixed bill. The dynamic between Mayara Piniero (vibrant) and Zecheng Liang (cool) made for a fantastic partnership. BRAVO!!!
  11. I really enjoyed the first program. Bravo to the dancers and everyone behind the scenes who made this possible!🌷
  12. Thank you, nanushka! Had not seen Balanchine's ballet before. His version seemed more atmospheric than dramatic: no mention/chance of Odette's spell being broken; Siegfried left alone in despair at dawn. The groupings and patterns of the swan maidens were quite lovely.
