  • Nutcracker on PBS This Wednesday

      If you don’t want to miss a Christmas classic, but don’t want to shell out the money in this crap economy, no worries. San Francisco Ballet‘s Nutcracker is going to be on PBS this Wednesday. I viewed an advance copy and it’s really one of the better Nutz I’ve seen. San Francisco Ballet is…

  • Go in grace premiere

    Go in grace premiere Originally uploaded by swan lake samba girl via mobile. T-Mobile Aw, it was sweet! And interesting – was just as much about the music – sung live onstage- as the dance if not more. Amos machanic is so good, breaks my heart. Think i saw will from so u think u…

  • Mercedes Ellington, Broadway, Dance Times Square Student Comp

  • Misnomer’s BEING TOGETHER: Dance with Original Movement that Asks How Humans Connect and How Meaning is Made in Dance

      I went to the opening night of Misnomer Dance Theater’s Being Together at the Joyce SoHo last night. I almost don’t want to write anything yet since they’ll be broadcasting live their December 14th performance. I know, how coolly innovative, right! So, I encourage everyone to watch that.

  • Methinks Derek Hough Has a Crush on Yulia Zagoruychenko…

    I had a law event tonight and got home half-way through the show (and am watching the rest now), but when I turned the TV on Derek and Brooke were doing their Salsa. But, hehe, this is the first thing I thought of: First Derek uses Max and Yulia’s song, now he ‘steals’ her fab…

  • The Times Liked Center Stage 2

    “Some of the acting is stilted in spots, but the dancing is fantastic. And the leitmotif of class resentment is an apt one for the times.” Scroll down to the bottom to see the short review. The critic is a television not dance writer. I guess it shows what different audiences’ expectations may be. Via…
