"Our Show", a popular ballet program created and run entirely by the company dancers, will take place next weekend at the MCB studios. Tickets for the event and the after party reception at the Gansevoort Hotel are currently on sale. This is a show prepared with lots of love completely by the dancers, in which they present their own choreographies. Program still not available. I'm planning to go. Will report back. Anybody going...? bart, liebling...?

I'll be there Friday. I remember last year's "Our Show" fondly. So I couldn't resist, despite the long drive down to Miami.
Last year's program consisted of:
-- A pas de trois from Corsaire,
-- A work ("Venia") by then-corps-member Alexander Dutko, who I believe moved to Gamonet this season.
-- Alex Wong dancing Rachel Porier's 747,
-- A Full-cast piece called "Chidlren of Uganda" by Casia Phillips, who has volunteered with relief agencies in Africa
-- Catoya in a variation from Bayadere,
-- Ashley Knox doing a traditional Highland Fling
-- Deanna Seay, Brad Dunlap, and Katie Gibson in an original piece by Misha Nikitine.
-- A piece for a couple and 3 additional women, by Stephen Satterfield, to music of Vivaldi
-- A variation from Balanchine's Square Dance, danced by Amir Yogev.
-- Deanna Seay's Dying Swan (Fokine)
-- A piece for 3 men and 3 women by Marc Spielberger, to music including Arvo Part and the Kronos Quartet
-- A solo from Skylphides, by Carolyln Rose Ramsay,
-- and twins Leigh-Ann and Sara Esty, Synergy, to music by John Willians, with a cast of 4 shorter girls and 4 tall girls.
-- plus a full-company Finale.
There were a few surprises two, including random appearances by Ezra Hurwitz and a hilarious Jeanette Delgado.
I loved the cast list, which included essential information about everyone who was dancing including such facts as:
-- Marc Spielberger has the best bod
--Tricia Albertson, Most likely to pick up a stray cat AND Most spunky (Good for her on both counts)
-- Alex Wong loves to tap dance
-- Andrea Spiridonakos has the Best Fashion Sense
-- Amanda Weingarten is Most likely to have a large family
-- Chaz Meszaros, Most likely found doing Concerto Barocco in another room
-- Deanna Sea (Most likley to never miss a balelt class. Most likelyi to know how to fire a rifle.
-- Ashley Knox, Funniest onstage actress
-- Allynne Noelle is Most likely to knock herself out with her own leg
-- Mary Carmen Catoya is Most likely to have another new puppy
-- Daniel Baker, Most likely to be a power cheerleeder (which explains his recent YouTube appearance with Alex Wong)
-- Patricia Delgado, the Best Advice Gier
-- Jeanette Delgado, a practioner of hip hop
-- and Alexandre Dufaur as being "Most likely to be on time" (I thought that was ME!)

Because of the nature of "Our Show," the program is not usually announced ahead of time. If you go, just go and plan to have a good time!
