Ballet class with Frederic Lazzarelli: "Finding a class in Paris was not a problem. Actually getting to class was the real difficulty..."

Les Ballets Trockaderos de Monte Carlo: "Known for the sly humor and knowledgeable insider jokes which mark all of their performances, the Trocks are both accomplished dancers as well as masters of comedy..."

P.S. 122 in New York: "When you want to see innovative and cutting-edge dance, check out P.S. 122 in New York's East Village..."

On Romeo and Juliet: "One of the best-loved ballets in the repertoire, Sergei Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet was only first performed in this century..."

Butoh, The Dance of Darkness: "Because of its sometimes sexual and violent themes, it is one of the most controversial and shocking of all dance forms..."

A Ballet Body...Who Decides?: "For good or ill, the exacting standards by which ballet measures dancers includes a very thin body..."
