2 and 3 Part Inventions last night was perfect - I had forgotten how much I love the music and the choreography. And the dancers were each phenomenal - it was a really great cast. Each dancer captured and expressed such joy and excitement. I would highly recommend this ballet, with this cast (Morgan, Pereira, Laracey, Zungre, Finlay, Peiffer, Appelbaum, Thew).

I thought Mearns was outstanding last night - she is such a beautiful, gracious, and regal dancer. Garcia was impeccable - his beats made my jaw drop. I was also incredibly impressed by Hanna's partnering - I'm not sure I noticed him much prior to his run in Billy Elliot, but I'm excited to see him in more NYCB this season. Pereira was great as the Butterfly - she was a last minute replacement for Dronova. She is quick, spry, and a phenomenal technician - and you can always tell she enjoys dancing - as a result, she is a pleasure to watch. The children, as always, were fabulous and received a special round of applause. Sometimes, early in the winter season, I feel that performances appear under-rehearsed - I did not feel that way at all during last night's performance - I thought everyone did a great job. I'm looking forward to the remainder of the season.

Does anyone know where Rachel Piskin went? I always loved watching her dance - she was beautiful and quite gracious. The lushness of her movements didn't come at the expense of her technique - I always noticed her in the corps. I missed her in the performances I saw this season, but didn't realize she was off the roster until someone mentioned it on one of the links here. I'm hoping I can see her as a soloist in another company. Does anyone know of her whereabouts?

Thanks Carbro and Singerwhomoves. Unfortunately i didn't receive any email confirmation after signing up. Perhaps I'll try to sign up again and see what happens. Thanks for your help!

I signed up for this discount program - the third ring is SO much better than the fourth ring, in my opinion - but I haven't heard anything more about the program or how to utilize it. I called NYCB, and they didn't know anything about it. Anyone have more info? Thanks...

anybody see erica pereira's spf? i'd love to hear about it. she's a beautiful dancer.
