Read MoreI have been hesitant to write this last tour blog because there is something very final about it. However, I read Michael Montgomery's post this morning and suddenly felt inspired to write. I just want to say a quick thank you to him for his beautiful words and also express how he has affected my life in turn. It is so exciting to see someone with so much fire and hunger just beginning his journey at LINES. I cannot wait to see this new generation of dancers, and where they take the company. I know that it will be ...

Read MoreAlas, the day we saw coming has arrived; tour (Du Champagne) is officially over. It is amazing to think about time, and how quickly it trickles and fades. This tour was filled with so many nuances, like the addition of two family members (Courtney and Victor). Their abilities to learn four complete ballets, with only about a week and two days of preparation time, was so inspiring! They both showed tremendous will power with a heavy coat of positive energy, amidst all the chaos their minds were being put through. It shows us again how privileged we are to have ...

Read MoreYES, I LOVE IT! I joined LINES on April 25, which was my goal for a long time. I guess it was the right time and place and I decided to turn the page, stop dreaming, and start dancing. Now, three weeks later, I am back in Europe, touring France and having my "premieres" with LINES. I had eight days to learn and prepare myself for two different programs. It wasn’t easy, but now I feel happy with the hard work and the results. The more time I spend with my new "family", the more I like it. I ...

Read MoreIt's 3pm on a Friday and I can't help but reflect that a mere two months ago I would have been in my last class of the week, Graham to be exact, anxiously watching for the clock to turn 4:20pm so my weekend could begin. Fast forward and I'm in Sceaux, France enjoying the breeze and listening to the little French children giggle and play at the nursery right outside my hotel window, as I write my first tour blog for LINES Ballet. Comment tu dis "can't complain?"
From the first day I arrived in ...

Read MoreThose of us, who haven't left San Francisco in a while may not know this, but there is this "thing" going on around the world. Some people refer to it as "autumn". It turns trees to the color of fire, and then when the fire burns out, the leaves "fall". Did you all know this happened in November? Weird. This phenomena is currently happening in Slovenia, Italy, AND France, but I don't ever recall San Francisco being so orange (aside from this year's Giants Fever outbreak).
As the company goes into our Milanese season, there is also ...

Read MoreWe have been in St. Maxime for a couple of days now and I'm just starting to get used to it today. We were a bit shocked when we arrived and discovered that we were quite removed from the actual city center and did not have internet or phones in our rooms. To make matters worse, it was a French holiday so nothing within walking distance was open. It is rare to see Selby without a huge smile on her face but this was one of those times. We had a short meeting and then all dispersed to our ...
