    As a ballet loving stagehand this is the kind of information I have been seeking to properly appreciate the work the dancers put in.

    The corps never seems to get enough credit, I love these sorts of explanations!

    Your warning against imitating someone is so on point(e) and applies to all the performing arts.

    This series of ballet deconstructed is great! Balanchine famously said that "see the music, hear the dance". I feel I appreciate what he meant more now.

    something about "saute, pas de courou, and bye" made me laugh

    Your point about being Sugar Plum, hearing flowers, and saying โ€œIโ€™m nextโ€ is so real ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Thank you so much for this! Balanchine's is my favorite Flowers because it's all DANCING, no posing and mucking around in place, just all-out dance and energy and amazing patterns. Ashley's performance here is also the best. I loved seeing you break down and explain what makes her interpretation and technique so stellar.

    The swelling of the music in this piece and how Ashley plays with it is just so amazing to watch, thank you so much for taking us through this! Would love to see the grand pas breakdown or even the very underappreciated Marizpan piece!
