Hello All, Matt and I are really excited about the upcoming programs, especially the new Wheeldon piece, Ghosts, and Company B. Matt and I both learned the “Pennsylvania Polka” role in Company B and we are both in the corps of Ghosts, so we get to dance with each other a lot which is nice. The music is absolutely gorgeous for Ghosts, and the movement is enjoyable and challenging at the same time. I think Christopher has choreographed a smash hit. I hope you’ll agree with me when you see the duet he has choreographed for Damian Smith and Yuan Yuan Tan. The music and the choreography combined are enough to take your breath away.

On the lighter side of things, the other day a lot of the guys in company class decided to show our wilder side by all wearing crazy colored tights made by Myles Thatcher‘s mother. The dancewear line is called Saut de Basque. Here’s a picture for your enjoyment. We like to keep a sense of humor even while we’re working hard. It dissipates any stress that might be building up. :)
