"Ballet is the language of the soul expressed through the poetry of movement."

[sameerspiritual]

A whisper of lace, a scream of muscle, bound in a single, breathless moment.

Classical dance isn’t some old dusty thing from the 19th century. Classical dance doesn’t mean “old” or dance from yesterday. Some people have a much too restricted view on this. No, it’s contemporary and it evolves. On the other hand, there are also people who think that the language of classical dance has become obsolete. But they are mistaken.

Laurent Hilaire, 2003

Casanova quote of the day, with footage from our ballet about his life...

“One who makes no mistakes makes nothing.”

This cambré is my silent symphony, a vibrant, tensile curve drawn in stark ink, etching ephemeral truths onto the canvas of light.

A chord of nature bound in human guise, she traces the music of the spheres upon the stage, a kinetic enigma wrapped in shadowed light.

A transient monument to an internal sky, I fly by the sheer, electric will of a thought, a dangerous whisper of silk and sinew defying the earth's cold, possessive embrace.
