Lexington Ballet: Nutcracker Reimagined
If you want to support a strong small-city company that's taken a couple extra hits during this pandemic, consider a rental or purchase. I'm happy to say that, masks and all, I was impressed with the quality of this production, so I'm happy to rep it here.
We're still in a Pandemic, so that's it for now. As things recover, I'll get back to posting workshops and events.
Until this is over, stay #HealthyAtHome, everyone.

For me this comes under “stuff that happened on intensive week but God help you if dynamite or cap’n marmite suddenly calls for one now”
I was having the same problem for a long time—brisée almost never comes up in class, probably because everyone’s terrified of it, but it shows up in advanced class from time to time, at intensives, and in auditions, at which point I’d grit my teeth and approximate as hard as possible.
Fortunately, BW takes requests, so now we do it all the time in his class 😀
