In general I found the dance performance to be entertaining in the fact that it was different from what most would expect. I went into the theatre awaiting a typical ballet performance; however, I was surprised during the second and fourth performances. At first, I thought the second dance was rather strange and repetitive. Yet, once they started to change up the dance a bit,away from the "crazy-like running in place" move, I began to see the artists as performing interpretative dance. Personally, I found the second performance to be representative of a newborn come to life.

         I have seen the famous Christopher Wheeldon. Not long ago, I remember having read about a choreographer who collaborated with Narcisso Rodriguez on a piece for the New York City Ballet. Now I have heard him speak! Tonight, I ventured to City Center to participate in the Symposium on the Ballet Russes. Although I did not actually ask any questions, I listened to a panel of four renowned choreographers and musicologists. The experience was unique to say the least.
