For all of you Portlanders, or ballet lovers who will be in Portland at the end of August, here is a treat from OBT!!!

Sounds like a wonderful program, Printcess.  The chance to observe -- and even take -- classes  is something I would definitely want to do.  The Swan Lake rehearsal sounds pretty good, too.  It must help that Portland has such a lovely, gracious, accessible and relatively quiet downtown in which to go out into the open like this.  Will you be attending?  Any others from Ballet Talk?

Oh I wish I could, but I am saving my airfare or airline miles for Swan Lake in October and Tarantella in April. I would love to hear if any BTers are attending and their impressions. I suspect that after the Kennedy Center appearance, there will be a groundswell of support for OBT.

I always try to attend at least once, each summer. I really enjoyed taking class from Alison Roper, last summer, so I'll try to do that again, this year.

Please report back on the Exposed. I'd love to read about it.

I will probably attend on Wednesday.  The free class taught by principal dancer Alison Roper should be interesting.  I wish I could see and hear the performance on Saturday (Oregon Symphony will be playing), but I have prior plans.
