I will never forget an evening at the Joffrey: Three ballets-- the Clowns, I think by Joffrey, Secret Places--a beautiful pas by Arpino, and The Green Table. This was in Chicago in the late 60's I think, and during the Viet Nam war. I marveled at how each ballet told a different story of that horrible time. I would love to see all three again, though I saw Green Table with David H. at ABT.

A question:
Both of the ballerinas who have trouble with the fouettes have had this problen for several seasons. What about the power of practice? of practice practice practice-i remember learning them and practicing and getting better. Im not trying to brag about my great skill --i was 12 and could do about 9 at the end of my dancing career at the age of 15!
but it was practice--.. Am I being too harsh?

so wonderful.. makes me so sad

I agree with you, fleur fairy. Can't wait.

I wonder what it is like for a dancer who sometimes can and sometimes can't to the fouettes. To me it sounds like an actors nightmare danced for real in front of all of us.

I loved Teuscher this afternoon--i thought her acting was amazing. her arms and especially her hands changed --in black swan they almost turned into claws. Onward to Lane tomorrow..

I feel so bad for Murphy. Hate to see anyone injured, but so far she's missing out on most of the season.

I saw the matinee today. I wanted to love it and did but... I felt it was too busy--couldn't see the choreography cleanly because the costumes and sets were often the same color--at least in Act 1 and the end of Act 2.
I wanted to see the dancing! but was distracted by the frills! I may go again and sit closer. loved the music, and the wit of the staging, and the energy. -
I watched it to the end. The lovely prize winners were announced by number not by name! It was very "announcer"heavy. Too much talk!

Thank you Aurora.

I'm so sorry--so sad.

Ive missed your posts!

I've watched Walpurgistnacht 3 or 4 times! What a wonderful company!! I've seen Sara in it live and it whooshed by--but now I'm watching it over and over. She is brilliant and unique. And I've come to love Lauren Lovette! she is secure and exudes such joy!!
When I say "what a wonderful company" I'm lucky I live here--in New York-- and see the company often--but being fully present as an audience, I watch them with wonder anew!!

She is dancing Diamonds on July 9!

me too

This is the second time I've seen Fille. The first was with Nadia Nerina and David Blair when the RB was on tour! and I loved it!
It took me to happy-ending-land. I thought Stella, Aaron Scott, and Marcello were wonderful. When Whiteside first saw the ribbon sTella left for him I thought "oh dear," needs acting coach! But forgave him. Loved it!

who did the Glass Slipper? I loved that film!

I watched the movie! I thought she was natural and lovely. Her dancing was too. Hope she doesn't give that up!

It is when aurora rocks in her balance that spoils it for me.--that makes it about balances not youthful joy.
I love it when Fonteyn pitches the second gift of roses as if to say "lm so happy I dont have time to smell the roses!"
