Friday the 13th and the 20th.
The first ballet I was ever in was his staging of Nutcracker. He was such a nice man. When I was 10, he taught our class one day - he liked to pop in like that. I can't open the link - who is dancing?There will be a gala performance in honor of Frederic Franklin, May30- June 30, at the Schimmel Center (Pace University)
Looks pretty interesting! Info here:

I have never peeked in this thread before, but once upon a time I went to NYCB about 75x/year. And yet it is Martine van Hamel who is on my short list as one of the greatest dancers I ever saw. (Just below Suzanne Farrell.)For the gala on Friday, appearances by Jacques D'Amboise, Arthur Mitchell, Charles Askegard, Martine van Hamel and Xiomara Reyes. I suspect only Askegard and Reyes would do any actual dancing!
And The Dancers from The Horses's Mouth. Whoever they are.
It didn't register before that Davisbundlertanze and Union Jack were on the same program. Together, that's about 70 dancers, two kids, and a donkey, at minimum.
All the panties for Joaquin!Joaquin is indeed a beautiful dancer and quite handsome as well. You have an excellent eye and you'll be "in teknik" in no time.
Topless Joaquin!

Donkey news: it has morphed into a very small, I guess I would say miniature, horse, with a handler who stood his ground and kept horsey under control.
My brother referred to it as a pony (could be a mini, dunno.) Also, we may have a Balanchine convert--he enjoyed both ballets very much, LOVED Union Jack. And he bought me a DVD. I was only teasing when I asked for a souvenir, but I'll take it.
I cannot describe the crazy-fast series of turns and split leaps he did the other night other than a sheer feat of (beautiful) athleticism!Joaquin is a very lovely, and super-charming man, besides being a wonderful dancer. I've never met another with as much machismo as he has! For a very small man, he is also very strong - cannot say ballet dancers are not athletes in their own right! Yep, he can charm the panties right off the women!
I saw Zakharova and Hallberg do Giselle last night. SHE IS AN ALIEN!!! She is genetically engineered for ballet from head to toe. I've seen him do Albrecht before, but he just gets better. I pretty much agree with this. http://www.washingtonpost.com/enter...2fc9e0-e0f8-11e3-8dcc-d6b7fede081a_story.html
I am seeing them again tomorrow.
