Winter be Gone, Innovations is Here!

How do I know when the end of winter is near?  When the National Ballet returns from the post-Nutcracker hibernation.  Finally!  Tomorrow night the dancers hit the stage with the highly anticipated, world premiere of the Innovations mixed program. I’ll be seeing the show on Thursday following of course, my favourite and free Ballet Talk lecture.

Catch today’s Globe & Mail for a helpful break down of the show, by choreographer.

A first position account of ballet: the ups, downs and all classes in between. As an old instructor once said, “This is going to be very, very hard because ballet needs to be very very perfect.”
