While visiting Kennedy Center to view Ballet Across America on Saturday (click on Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for the full three-performance review), I literally ran into no less than a quartet of former Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre principals — Willy Shives, now a ballet master with Joffrey Ballet, Nanci Crowley, head of the school at Arizona Ballet, and husband-and-wife Laura Desiree and Brian Bloomquist, who live in the area. To add icing to the cake, so to speak, former corps members Rachel Foster and James Moore performed beautifully with the Pacific Northwest Ballet. Quite a representation!
Wonderful source for my readers and their parents. I’m going to link this post on my blog, http://millicentmouse.wordpress.com.
Thanks!
