Maybe next time I’ll stay longer and have some free time.

It’s interesting to see how he choreographs his dancers to move in counterpoint, just like the wonderful Bach he has them dancing to. It’s thrilling, actually.

Incidentally, I third Amused Observer and rickl.

Don’t fail to keep these lovely things coming!

Dance is a portion of and obviously a passion of your life. As if the slippers in your title photo block (or what ever the correct blog term for it is) don’t announce it to the world.

It doesn’t really do a thing for me, I’ll click through 1 in 10 perhaps. But your spot here is unique because of the graciousness you provide. This is a spot of serenity and civil discourse quite rare which I value. I feel the difference is you.

When you share with us your passion for dance it’s a moment of intimacy and friendship. It makes you happy and you share that happiness. Never apologize. A little bit of culture can’t hurt me a bit.
