Tonight’s Ballet Across America’s program was featured Sir Frederick Ashton’s ‘Les Patineurs‘ by The Sarasota Ballet, Edwaard Liang’s ‘Wunderland‘ by The Washington Ballet, and George Balanchine’s ‘The Four Temperaments‘ by Pennsylvania Ballet. All three companies performed incredibly. However, the real treat for me was seeing Ellen Overstreet’s, alumna of BalletNova Center for Dance, stunning performance with Sarasota Ballet. Ellen, thank you for your beautiful dancing and bringing the BalletNova family all together tonight.
Thank You, My Dear Friend!
‘Notes on Spring’, what a fun, sweet, elegant, and delightful dance choreographed by a very closed friend of mine, Constance Walsh. I was so fortunate to work with her and a group of young and talented dancers from BalletNova. It was the closing for BalletNova’s ‘Swan Lake Act II & Other works’ production last weekend. What a perfect way to end the show!
Tech Week!

What an Amazing week!!
What a pleasure it’s been working with such wonderful artists… Gin Dancers. Their incredible talent and spirit inspire me so much. This past week GDC, as a guest performing company, shared the stage with BalletNova Center for Dance. So many wonderful Gin fans came out and supported us. A big Thank You to you all!!! At the performance, the preview of our new piece, “Simply Bach”, received an incredible response from the audience … Touching us, and making all the hard work worth while. Now we’re back in studio working hard, continuing to create more beautiful works to fulfill our mission-Enriching Lives through Dance.
