I am aware that I have assembled a group of dancers who is not a corps de ballet. You are not a homogenious group as to your levels, experience, age, or outlook. This is our challenge. To utilize each and every one of you to your most challenging capacity and rejoice in the differences and the harmonies alike.

a word about your May 2,3 plans. We will have a shorter Coppelia rehearsal on Saturday. Ending 2PM. We will need to rehearse Wonder on Sunday, May 4, 2-4PM. That is the trade for the overnight - loss of focus Saturday.- I think it is a good deal for you.

In classes and variations times we will be working on pieces from our classical piece from the spring: Coppelia Act 3.
Traditionally it is referred to as a Wedding Celebration for Franz and Swanilda, but we will call it the other name: CELEBRATION OF THE HOURS. Leaving aside the grand pas, the rest is a detailed unfolding of the hours of the day from TIME and her nymphs to each part of the day. Our youngest dancers in Ballet Exploration will be dancing the magical ticking of the clock.
You would each do well to watch a version of this in your spare time. If you wish we can do group watch party at a time of your choosing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE2fjFMag7E from 1hour19 you can enjoy the splendour of the Bolshoi Theatre, the amazing presentations by the milti-lingual narrator and peeks backstage of one of the largest theatres in the world.
