Hey guys! I just returned home from Chicago where the company was on tour dancing at the Harris Theater for the past week. This tour marked the first time the company was back performing since we were in Saratoga, and it was really wonderful to reunite with all of my colleagues and dance in front of an especially warm and receptive audience.

I snapped this picture last Tuesday night, just after we completed our first performance of the tour. We were sweaty and exhausted, yet there was a definite feeling of accomplishment in the air as we gathered around the elevator and waited to return to our dressing rooms. Although the corps dressed only two flights up, a majority of us agreed that dancing an all-Balanchine program was enough to justify not taking the stairs!
