I'm I'm I'm
I'm still speechless over the fact that you got to go to an ABT company class ! -- that almost hurts more than me not getting to a single performance !
[...actually, it DOES hurt more. ;( ]

It's so nice to hear about all the different casts...I love reading about how things change when different dancers are performing a role. Thank you! :)

I was also surprised at the seeming dearth of reviews, but a review just went up in the Wall Street Journal (and not even behind the pay wall, which is nice) if you haven't seen that yet. And hopefully there'll be a review at some point in the Observer. If nothing else, Robert Gottlieb is never boring.

I loved seeing Julie Kent and David Hallberg together in the Ratmansky piece. I thought they reacted to each other quite nicely, in a way that really worked with the space. It really looked like they were smiling at/with each other.
I wish I could have seen multiple casts of these pieces. Thanks for the review!
