Hello brbropus,
You asked how Joan Boada dances on stage after seeing him in a
San Francisco Ballet class. He is "off the scale," magnificent!
This year he went far beyond his sensational "tricks" in Don Quixote.
His elegant epaulement in Balanchine's "Square Dance" was unforgetable!
He was a great partner for Tina Le Blanc.
When you had your class with him "several years ago," he may have
been recovering from one of his three knee surgeries. In fact, his
contract with SFB was not going to be renewed in 2003, but an
avalanche of fan mail and pleas to reconsider kept this
much- appreciated dancer in San Francisco.
Thank you Helgi Tomassen and the Executive Board of SFB!
