pherank Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 It seems to be working again. Nice behind-the-scenes background you don't see that often, even on Instagram. http://www.sfchronicle.com/thetake/article/Meant-for-the-stage-Dancing-with-S-F-Ballet-s-6716140.php Sometimes the Chronicle stories are available after a few days, sometimes they're posted on their free - but very cluttered - SF Gate website. A reporter told me they're having a hard time figuring out just how they want to present their online content. Good to hear, Quiggin. You would think that for any subjects that have an international audience, like ballet, they would keep their video stream open to the world. Better publicity that way.

pherank Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I don't get the reference to "Russians doing 19th century street dance". If they're kinda-sorta referring to the "Russian dance" in the Act 2 Divertissement, I think that's actually a Cossack/Ukrainian-type dance (as most companies perform it). What am I missing?

I don't think he meant it literally; I suspect it was just a joke. ETA Here's a link to the brief article with the quote. Link to comment
