Last night I saw what was for me a "dream cast" in Jardi Tancat.  Due to an injury there was a last minute (24 hours actually) change.  Carla Korbes, Carrie Imler, and Leslie Rausch ended up on the same stage in the same piece as the 3 women in this piece.  Individually they were magnificant, and in ensemble their performance oozed artisty in this heavily emotional piece.  These 3 woman are arguably my 3 favorite female dancers at PNB (all for very different reasons), and to see them togther was for me: heaven.

To add to the magic of this performance of Jardi, these women were partnered by 3 of the finest men in the troupe: Lucein Postlewaite, recently promoted Seth Orza, and Kiyon Gaines.  I was thunderstruck by the performance (and intra-communication) of these 6 extraordinary dancers in a piece they clearly love.
