It almost seems like the smaller or regional companies are doing better with maybe less in regards to keeping interest alive and putting together interesting online content ... 🤔

I was wondering of all of the american companies, large or small, which ones are ready for a change of artistic direction? And for what reasons? i personally think Houston Ballet might be ripe for a change. Its a good company that just seems to fly under the radar a lot. It seems they stage a whole lot of Stanton Welch’s creation which might not be all that great... i am really curious to hear what you have to say ?

Being canadian i guess the NBoC should be my home team. I never had the chance to see them live. What are some of you more knowledgeable balletomanes opinion on the company right now? I feel like this company fails to generate much excitement from me... and i dont really know why. What about you? Are there dancers that you feel are particularly to watch in the future? I used to like Elena Lobsanoba but she left, sadly... I guess what i might be really asking is: how good do you feel the company is right now? Im very interested in your opinions!

Hello! I am discovering ballet, i have never danced, never taken a single class in my life... i am mostly able to watch ballet through videos since i don’t have easy access to live performances by a top-tier company. I am educating myself through documentaries and articles found online about Balanchine and his legacy. I realized that i enjoy his works more when they are not danced by the nycb! I know i might be stating a terrible heresy but i really feel that way! Maybe im just exposing my ignorance regarding how balanchine should be danced? However, Ive watched some older videos of nycb

Thank you for all your well informed answers ! Anybody has an idea why the Balanchine version is so rarely staged?

Hello! completely new to this so if my topic is not in the right place please feel free to tell me or move it! I have a completely newfound appreciation of the Balanchine repertory . I have been dying to see what Balanchine’s take on Swan Lake might have looked like! To the best of your knowledge is there a recording of his swan lake?

Thank you Drew and Helene! I certainly enjoy reading what others have to say about ballet . Often it helps me pinpoint exactly why i like this but hate that.

hi! I am a couch ballet fan, i know basically nothing about ballet but for some reason i find it fascinating and beautiful. Because i am not fluent in ballet vocabulary i am often unable to explain why i like some things and dislike others. But when i like something, i reeeeally like it !
