Enjoyed Hamrick's dancing.

That link really belongs under PA ballet. Austin was one of my favorites at NYCB and was quite happy when she moved to Philadelphia with PA Ballet. Her dancing had the warmth and magic of Mearns. Many fine performances at Lincoln Center and Academy of Music.

My guess is Svetlana Beriosova .

It's sad such a kind, cultured, and generous lady has passed away.

Peck's Everywhere We Go is too long at 42 minutes-I'd like more flattering women's costumes and edit it to 20 minutes. http://www.nycballet.com/Ballets/E/Everywhere-We-Go-New-Stevens-Peck.aspx How were the hands?

Does anyone have casting information for Fri through Sunday?

NYCB instagram has the progression of extensions in Agon. "Take One" https://www.instagram.com/p/BCJb67sB7aC/?taken-by=nycballet

Would love to see Brooklyn Mack as Hamlet. WB has a great new studio near the WB headquarters building: https://www.facebook.com/TheWashingtonBallet/photos/a.128937021691.104918.43875516691/10154015114796692/?type=3&theater

I hope Kent has public cast lists as opposed to the current policy.

The Mariinsky and ABT [narrative works] are packed houses at the Kennedy Center. At matinees kids ages range from tots on up. Practically a Nutcracker. NYCB doesn't sell out.

http://www.kennedy-center.org/pages/SpecialEvents/SeasonAnnouncement 2017: The retiring from Washington Ballet Septime Webre didn't get the international press and accolades of Peck but does good choreography in narrative [and other] ballets. Cincinnati Ballet Nutcracker? Trock? Hamburg plus others? FYI Riverdance is at Wolf Trap this summer . Why not ABT every summer and...ABT Ratmansky Nut has moved to the West Coast- Segerstrom December 9-18, 2016. Is it anywhere else? http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/17/arts/dance/new-york-will-lose-ballet-theaters-nutcracker.html The Kennedy Center has an annual slot for a Nutcracker over Thanksgiving. Why not ABT annually?

No discernible moment of injury for Skorik. Just a general malaise throughout although her lines were beautiful. Askerov attempted romance in the dream but captured a wili. Act 2- announced Kolegeva doing Raymonda in Acts 2 and 3 and unfortunately didn't also sub in Chebynkina. Kolegeva was enchanting as usual, Askerov delivered excellent class grand allegro on his diagonals. I never saw Skorik in other than act 1. Kondaurova and Kolegeva did entrechats just not quite complete quatre [more height on the jump]. They had great performances throughout all acts/shows. Loved Korsuntsev as de Brienne.

Preferences are a combination of Mariinsky and Bolshoi.

That was an ABT invite perhaps relative to subscriber benefits not the Kennedy Center booking.

I love the Mariinsky Raymonda production and began my Mariinsky marathon with open rehearsal. 2016 marks the 30 year anniversary since I first saw the Kirov. The DC area community is grateful that Yuri Fatayev always begins the public Kennedy Center Mariinsky run with an open rehearsal. Many artistic directors of other KC annually booked companies do not - no ABT, no NYCB. This run had Tier 1 open plus school groups in Tier 2. At least 1 senior citizen group always comes to this event. Within the past year other companies with open rehearsal included Suzanne Farrell [recent production with Emeralds] and the Royal Ballet's Don Q [Acosta production with Salenko-Macrae]. The opera house lobby has the glass display case where companies can place costumes for public close-up views. It is very thoughtful that The Mariinsky always has them in place by Open Rehearsal when some companies do not even bother with a display during the show. ABT never put out any of it's highly touted reconstruction SB costumes or wigs.

Vote based on dancing Abderhakman leaves Mariinsky and Bolshoi. Nureyev cut much of the dancing for his rival.

Unfortunately Kim and Shakirova are not in DC.

I'm surprised that Millepied denigrated La Bayadere corps as "wallpaper" and by his choice of choreography. What specific deficits did he see in the school? Any links addressing his improved health plan?

I can't figure out how to upload pictures! Skorik blue tutu poster is huge maybe 4-5 feet high. https://mapskc.shutterfly.com/

The KC is displaying huge beautiful posters of Skorik.

Princes-Conrads in waiting include Forster, Hammoudi, Baca. Ladies in waiting include Lane, Trenary, Mcbride. We also missed choreography from other versions of SB.
