It must be frustrating to get only one shot at Solor during the Met run. It'd be nice to be able to do a couple/few performances during the run... Merde tonight David!

I like Julie Kent very much, and admire her. Last summer, I got her autograph while waiting at the dressing room door. I'm so lucky that martha graham and ABT has taught our school the arts of dance. So, I hope to become a great as a dancer as all these principal dancers which showed in the gala, and the martha graham company too. -yume i’m very glad you enjoyed it.

You were there too! It was such a exciting opening. I will try to remember the YAGP, that I don't know if I kept the program or not. But this year's host, Desmond Richardson's annoucement was not really clear who won what. I will try to ask my friend who won the second in ensemble group( his dancers were on the chair with wheel). Thank you Tonya!

And the incomparable Alessandra is in front in all black ... June 23, I am gonna cry all night long... I forgot to say how great Lang Lang was -- I think some people were there just for him. Your description is of him is beautiful! Can you write a little about YAGP? I missed it! Now I'm kicking myself because the description of Evan's people (Stuttgart Ballet that is!) in the only review I saw of the event looked soooo cool! And could you, or anyone, tell me which Brazilian group won the ensemble student comp? I saw the ensemble competition and there were many groups from Brazil, all fascinating, so I'm dying to know which one it was who placed.
