Let's get it started, folks. Winter Season begins tomorrow!
We have loved this marketing campaign since Day 1. Illustrator Jamie Lee Reardin's little cat-like faces full of cat attitude and ultra-long skinny-kitty limbs just makes us smile and want to buy tickets to see all these cats jumpin' around. How great it would be if NYCB developed a series of little video cartoons with the dancers' actual voices. "Excuse me, that's my spot at the barre. Meow." "No problem, you can have it back when I'm finished. Meow."

Free Master Classes at the Bergen Performing Arts Center. Advanced students 14 years old and up who live in Bergen County should call 201-482-8194 to reserve a space.
NYCB's Daniel Ulbricht is directing this ongoing series of classes. This Monday's class will be taught by Amar Ramasar. February 8th's class will be taught by Stella Abrera; April 4th's class by Gonzalo Garcia; and June 6th's class by Megan Fairchild.
If you're too late to reserve a spot at the barre, you can still observe the class for free — also very useful, sometimes more so. Take notes.

Thank you for the post Haglund, I maybe getting really too old to remember but did Sasha Radetsky become a Principal at ABT and is he still there? I don’t see him on their website? He was a wonderful dancer and wish that is true.

Hi H.F. Sascha retired as a soloist from ABT in July of 2014, having also been a principal dancer at the Dutch National Ballet.

Thank you for the clarification Haglund, I don’t know how I missed this and sad to learn that ABT didn’t promote him, it would have been nice to see him with his lovely wife together on stage. I know he was in F&B TV series and thought he would end up in Hollywood. On a side note, I do love the new posters drawings of NYCB!!
