  1. Okay I'll take this bet, except I really would prefer you not send me your legs if I win.
  2. As a parent of an SAB student I can say that we're all dumbfounded by how SAB chose to reference Pilarre's departure (the students loved her) when they had many nice things to say about Darla & Ware leaving. This is the exact line about Pilarre, nothing more or less: "Susan Pilarre will not be returning to the faculty for the 2023-24 Winter Term"
  3. I live in Rhode Island so I'm looking forward to seeing how she develops the school there.
  4. It's not available because Disney+ took some shows off and that was one of them.
  5. Has anyone seen an announcement of new apprentices? I saw one that had congratulations on IG.
  6. I can't listen to that something about the beat/bass? Hurts my ears.
  7. Just a personal preference - 80 minutes was perfect for me. I don't like intermissions. They feel wasteful. I have to drive for 2.5 hours after each show to get home.
  8. This is just a pet peeve of mine... But why don't they stick to their policy of not seating people late? Why not just start on time? Is this just how it works in the music and art world?
  9. I had never seen Square Dance and will avoid any program with this incredibly boring ballet in the future. Afternoon of the Faun was everything I hoped it would be, I thought their chemistry was incredible. I love Megan Fairchild in anything. Excellent technical ability and artistry. I never have a reason to complain about her. I was gazing at Woodward's hands in her solo. I've never watched anyone's hands before. I don't even know how to describe how beautifully I thought she danced that with her upper body. As for the rest of the dances/dancers, I can forgive timing issues here and there. I take issue with 20+ timing issues in one evening. Rehearse more. It's distracting. Overall I could have skipped everything and just watched the 11 minute Afternoon of The Faun and been happy. My first time seeing it so I have no one to compare to.

  11. This makes it sound like we're applying to college and have to make sure we do the required Gen Ed courses if we want to have the fun electives. Lol. I should be able to "cherry pick" ballets, this is purely for my entertainment. Again, they are pricing out younger generations with $73 tickets when I thought they were making a conscious effort to include them. I'm assuming "30 for 30" is also obsolete?
  12. They went from $35 for years....to $38...to $73!? I thought they were trying to attract younger audiences. I was going to buy a 7 performance package and now I'm questioning whether I'll go at all. Do they only want the wealthy to attend? I'm seriously asking because they're pricing out us Millennials on a budget.
  13. Someone help me understand this- I've gotten flex packages before. I'm looking at them right now and the lowest ticket price is $73. What happened to the $38 tickets?
