    ~Carmen ChampagneThe ballroom is filled with dancers and onlookers alike. The dance floor is a sight to behold: women sparkling from head to toe with sequins, hair flourishes and embellishments; the men all in black. It's so very impressive at 8:30 in the morning! It's the American Rhythm Bronze Single Dance Divisions and the dancers are pumped. A swamped up version of Willie Dixon's, I Just Want

  • Never Too Old for Ballet

    9 May 2012 | 2:36 am
    I often receive inspiring comments from adult ballet dancers who started ballet classes "later in life." The success stories are heartwarming and amazing! Don't worry about what age you are starting, and don't worry if your classmates are younger than you. It's all about competing against yourself and being that much better than you were last week. Stay passionate and focused on becoming that beautiful dancer you dream of. l had to give up ballet at the age of 15 due to major spinal surgery but have returned 30 years later.  All my classmates are around 16 years and l'm 46! Was l nervous…

    Many, many dancers dream of being on America's Best Dance Crew. I receive several emails every week similar to this one: I have always wanted to be on ABDC! I'm 15, fixing to turn 16, and I love to dance. All I've ever dreamed of is being on this show. I want to make it happen. I don't want to be like my sister and not follow my dreams. I'm going to be different and I'm going to try hard. Maybe one day I'll be on ABDC!...Read Full Post

  • Any effective tips for someone who has a weak lead?

    moeiphy
    14 May 2012 | 2:05 am
    Hi everyone, I've only been dancing for five months or so and I'm having a hard time with my leading. Some of it may stem from me trying to use patterns I'm not confident in socially while other bits may be from me being afraid to step on someone's feet. I'm not sure if these two are the exact cause but any helpful tips on leading would be greatly appreciated as I'm looking to buckle down and really take my dancing to the next level.

  • Misty Copeland and FIREBIRD Excerpts Live-Streamed from the Guggenheim

    22 Apr 2012 | 7:42 pm
    For Californians (like me) who missed Misty Copeland’s Firebird at Segerstrom last month, or for New Yorkers and others hoping to catch a pre-Met season glimpse, she’ll be performing excerpts of it at the Guggenheim as part of the museum’s Works and Process event next Sunday and Monday nights, April 29th and 30th. The event is sold out but will be live-streamed on the Guggenheim’s ustream channel, so everyone everywhere can watch. It begins at 7:30 pm ET, so 4:30 PST, and they usually last an hour and a half. The Guggenheim usually does a good job with these…

  • Ratmansky’s Fantastically Funny, Tim Burton-Esque New FIREBIRD

    Tonya
    31 Mar 2012 | 9:20 pm
    Thursday night I went down to Costa Mesa for ABT’s premiere of Ratmansky’s FIREBIRD at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. I’m so glad I braved the nearly three hour drive (with traffic; without about fifty minutes) from west L.A. because it was an excellent evening. This is I think Ratmansky’s most theatrical, spectacular ballet – certainly of those he’s done for ABT – and I loved it. (Photo above of Natalia Osipova in the lead role, by Gene Schiavone, courtesy of Segerstrom.) The curtain opened onto this magnificent set. The prince is supposed to be…

    How excited am I! This Thursday through Sunday, my beloved ABT will be performing at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Orange County. They’re premiering Ratmansky’s new Firebird – and none other than SLSG faves Marcelo Gomes and Natalia Osipova are scheduled to star! (David Hallberg and Simone Messmer are co-starring.) The two other dances on the bill are Wheeldon’s Thirteen Diversions (photo above, by Rosalie O’Connor, of Marcelo with Isabella Boylston) and Merce Cunningham’s Duets. The latter two I haven’t seen yet since I missed the…

  • Careening Down Mulholland Drive, and Blue Line-ing to Long Beach

    Tonya
    11 Mar 2012 | 7:18 pm
    Last weekend was so nice (temps reaching 80!), I had to put work aside and get out and explore more of L.A. Friday evening I took the snaky Mulholland Drive home, which, thanks to a short story by Michael Connelly, I will always think of as Mulholland Dive. (It’s also the title of a surrealist, rather haunting David Lynch film.) The street wends itself through the entirety of Hollywood Hills, from west to east L.A. and is the official dividing point between Los Angeles (to the south) and the Valley (to the north). Despite its reputation – and I did find it to be frightening at…

    Aye, still trying to figure out how to live here… The other weekend I was perusing the antique shops on Magnolia Boulevard in Burbank and this piece of furniture stood out to me. I’ve needed a bookcase since I moved here but I haven’t liked anything I’ve seen in the regular furniture stores. But I loved this one. It’s actually a baker’s rack, not a bookcase, but it serves the same purpose. Plus, ever since shopping the Rose Bowl flea market, I’ve kind of been into unique furniture functioning as something other than it was originally meant for. So I…
