Yes, she is real. No she will not be dancing at The Opera House. I'm not sure she's old enough.

Alan Helms on Lar Lubovitch and Co.
A late arrival to Aisle Be Seeing You is Alan Helms' review of the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company from Bay Windows. The tardiness of this posting is no reflection on Alan, it's more a reflection of my holiday muddled head. Here's a bit:
"Placed in historical context, Lar Lubovitch presents an interesting case. For
two hundred years Western dance was exclusively narrative, and then Balanchine
appeared on the scene. Though Balanchine occasionally created story ballets
(notably Nutcracker and Don Quixote), his works were largely
abstract, and with the slow, stubborn persistence of the genius that he was, he
gradually created the audience he needed to appreciate his radically new work.
Ever since, most choreographers have either specialized in dance that tells a
story or dance that is basically about movement, which is to say dance about
dancing."

Stan Getz to blame for world financial crisis...
I suppose the good news is that Paul Desmond, John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins are all off the hook . . .

Art? a joke? a face?
How long can you watch . . . this.
I may now have proof that I no longer live in the world in which I grew up.
