DANCERS! COMPANIES! FRIENDS! STUDENTS!This is a HOME for all of my dancers and friends to resource and to post comments and concerns about class, corrections, health, apparel, music, repertory, rehearsal and just to generally - be dancers !!! A place for them to connect and maybe meet other ballet dancers from various studios and towns- to go and have coffee and talk about things in the world and the arts, increasing awareness of politics, music, art, theory- about dance and the work being made - to go to concerts and have a deeper understanding of performance art. To know whats going on in the community! A place to talk about the professional world, auditions and coaching- to get references and information about classes and gigs. Please, use it to share knowledge and to pursue a deeper understanding of the art of ballet.- Mister CaseyJUST DO IT!
