Music Center, Los Angeles — July 11-12, 2015
Last weekend I zipped down to L.A. to watch two (of three) programs of BalletNow, a mini-festival headed by star dancers Herman Cornejo and Roberto Bolle. Below are my collected tweets!

Lucia Lacarra and Marlon Dino are so lovely. Strong and lithe in Three Preludes. #BalletNow @MusicCenterLA

Mono Lisa was a welcome exciting, playful modern jolt to the program. Loved it. #MariaEichwald @RobertoBolle #BalletNow @MusicCenterLA

Super jealous 🙂 But on the subject of Bolle’s book: that cover photo and title… could it get any more narcissistic??
So glad I went down to see the show. For example Viengsay Valdés hadn’t been on my radar up to now, but wow, her Don Q was fiercely amazing.
Ha, yes, the book is definitely a trove of Roberto worship. 😉
