Buddy Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Dancers from the Vaganova Academy and five other famous dance schools will perform one or two different program segments each during four days. I hope to see two of these performances, as my daughter in nearby Philadelphia has just given birth to a baby girl, and I will use any excuse possible to see her again. I will try to report when I get back. http://www.kennedy-center.org/calendar/ind...rue&event=BGBSE Link to comment

Joseph Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Just note that for Vaganova Academy it states "alumni," which they seem to be dancing in Kirov Ballet now... But still should be a great program! Link to comment
