  1. As a member of Metropolitan Ballet Company I feel I can answer these questions easily! MCB dances at Bass Hall and Texas Hall in Arlington TX. TBT is Bass Hall's resident co. Mr Mejia is a strong leader with ideas and not easily influenced by board members "artistic ideas". I hope that Ben Stevenson gives the company some direction again. Hehe, nothing dramatic or too gossipy, sorry. We have backing and they have backing. The more dancing the better right? MCB is directed by Alexander Vetrov of Bolshoi fame (he teaches co. classes) and Paul Mejia. I would not say we are NYCB-style. All our principle dancers are Russian actually. I am one of the few American full-company dancers (not apprentice, trainee). I think TBT is English/Houston style. They offer Mr Stevensons full-length ballets while we offer almost always mixed reps. Our recent shows have included Sparticus selections, Agon, an Eddy Tousants premiere, and a Paul Mejia premiere. One of our upcoming reps is Prodigal Son, Paquita, and Paganini (Bolshoi repitoire). So you can see we have an interesting mix. Our website is - www.mcballet.org. Check out the Photo Galleries for sure! I hope this answered a few questions! Edited to remove gossip
