Somewhat puzzled by the reference to Reisinger (the choreographer of the Moscow pre-Petipa/Ivanov Swan Lake) followed by description of program that includes "the infamous Black Swan pas de deux" which presumably refers to something that is Petipa (or, at any rate, "Petipa" -- as handed down by tradition). Wonder if that isn't a mistake....?? Link to comment

Infamous fouettes, perhaps? Link to comment

pherank Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) I was looking online to see if Lauren Strongin has given birth yet (it must be any day now). There's no update yet aside from this post from husband Joe Walsh: https://www.instagram.com/p/CUDi8e1vKXd/ But I noticed that Strongin's IG page now states "Stanford University 2023". I was assuming that she was working on a post-graduate degree but apparently she actually transferred from City College San Francisco. She was in the LEAP program at St. Mary’s College too as far as I know. Strongin is an undergraduate in Anthropology but may be trying to get into Medicine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlzvQHzGppM Edited September 29, 2021 by pherank Link to comment
