We did our LOLAline Spring photo shoot in Emery LeCrone’s rehearsal of a new ballet for Columbia Ballet Collaborative.  The dancers featured are Nicole Cerutti, Alexandra Ignatius, Victoria North, Erin Arbuckle and Jen Barrer-Gall.  Photos by Steven Schreiber.

Emery thinks through a phrase she is about to teach in a Jade Shrug Off.

It was so much fun to be in Streng Studio at Barnard, being a fly on the wall in their rehearsal process.

Emery explains how best to get into the next move.

Nicole, Alex and Jen go for it! (Nicole is in the new Lemon Sheer Power)

The phrase they were working on was contemporary but definitely utilized all of their beautiful classical technique.

And hyper-extended elbow moments which I personally love!

And yes, those ballerinas will be doing floor work.  Alex, takes the moment of relaxation to work the Lemon cap sleeve Sputnik 2.

Stephanie Wolf, LOLAstretch New Media Intern, and I look on.

The choreographer’s world.

I love how Steven catches Jen in this moment, giving turnout in a flurry of movement.  She is in the newly brought back to life Sport Slender. (which we have not made in a few years now.)

And I think this one is my favorite!  Classic beautiful rehearsal shot.  Thanks Steven!

Time to go in groups with your like-minded leotard friend.  Nicole and Erin in unison.

Emery and Victoria work through a solo Emery has made for her.

It was such a great way to spend a couple hours and I couldn’t be more thankful to Emery and the dancers for letting us in to their behind-the-scenes world. (and looking so great in my new line all the while)

Now if only they could just manufacture the sun for us New Yorkers with all of their beautiful radiance…..

Enjoy!
