Come to Dancers' Choice on June 14th!

I love this sketch by Janie Taylor! She is also designing, and sewing herself, the costumes for the premiere of the evening: a new ballet choreographed by Ashley Bouder, to be danced by Kaitlyn Gilliland, Brittany Pollack, Amar Ramasar, and Sean Suozzi. I can't wait to see that and all the other exciting things on the program...just a few highlights: Serenade, with Maria Kowroski and Tess Reichlen in unexpected roles amongst the beautiful sisterhood of 17 dancers, Katie Morgan and Tyler Angle in the Sleeping Beauty excerpt, Episodes and Sarcasms, with music by Prokofiev (this is the piece my daughter will be in!) and excerpts from Union Jack for a grand celebration of the corps de ballet! Jenifer Ringer, this year's director and organizer talks about the event  here in TimeOut

Remember last year's wonderful keepsake booklet of photographs by Kyle Froman! This year Gwyneth Muller has been taking pictures behind-the-scenes with the dancers and we are each going to receive a gift of a packet of 20 postcards! Everyone has been very busy, donating their time, energy, and talents in the midst of the everything else they are doing (especially now as they are getting ready for next week's  Midsummer Night's Dream) Quite a feat that they are pulling this off!

Here is the program and casting from NYCBallet's website.  All those * are debuts - look what we have in store: All those * mean debuts! Look what is in store:
