From my balcony box seat I thought he *might* be cute when he took his bow, but then an internet search later that evening confirmed it. Yet, for some reason I was reticent to mention it here. (Self-censoring?! Mes dieux!)

How does one convince a principal dancer at ABT to take on this dubious assignment? Guess that's why my ticket price is what it is.winpalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03138998162300005843noreply@blogger.com
