A ballet update

Here is a photo of Helena in the Chinese costume for Utah Regional Ballet's Nutcracker. She says she doesn't like this picture and names reasons why. She is like the rest of us and sees microscopic faults that no one else sees. I think she looks fantastic! She had so much fun dancing that part. I hope she gets to dance it again next year!

The next thing for the ballet company is the Choreography Design Project. The concept; aspiring choreographers submit a plan and are awarded a group of URB dancers to 'set' their choreography on. Each choreographer is given 3 weeks with the dancers to fine tune before the performances.

I have been to this for several years and it is always fun. You never know what is going to come out of it. Some of it is classical, some of it is modern. Sometimes it tells a story, sometimes it is just plain weird!

I don't know if Helena will be performing in it this year. I don't think Helena knows either! She has never performed in it before, so it'll be a first for us if she does.

For those of you living close enough, the Choreography Design Project is being held at the Ragan Theatre at UVU on February 12th and 13th at 7:30 pm each night. Admission is $10 student, $12 general admission. Proceeds support Utah Regional Ballet!
