Please wear a mask across the schnoz & kisser when in a public place. Personal pathogens exhaled by a maskless person can hang in the air for several minutes after that person has whizzed by and vanished from sight.
Haglund has been sewing masks in his spare time using cuts from his T-shirt collection. If anyone around town observes a face wrapped in a blue "Ocean's Kingdom" mask, please feel free to compliment the wearer on his good taste.

I’ve made several types of masks. This is my favorite so far. It’s not as difficult as it looks.

I love the fabric.

After watching the Mariinsky’s Raymonda, I’m convinced that Tereshkina is the Goddess of Balletic Form. What a performance!

Just FYI re NYC Ballet on Tuesday – it is also going to feature Ask La Cour in the Phlegmatic section of Four Ts. They announced that on Instagram – not sure why it’s not on the website.

Fabulous! Thanks for the update.

Fully agree on Tereshkina. I’ve noticed that while watching many dancers, even elite ones, I have some semi-conscious sense of unease–I’m worried for them that they’ll make a mistake. Maybe I’m just noticing their own worry.
Not so with Tereshkina. What a joy to watch someone so confidently, securely, and gracefully reveling in the steps.

HI Haglund,
I agree enthusiastically about Tereshkina– and I don’t even like Raymonda very much. I loved her in Bayadere, DQ and others.
May she dance on for many years!
