Booking
yet to open
I
am taking names for the priority booking lists. Since Tours en l'air
trips are now selling out very rapidly, sometimes within 24 hours of
being announced to the priority booking list, it is very important
that you get your name on the
priority list if you have even the slightest interest on going on a
trip. It is not
a commitment.

Upcoming
Ballet in Cinema dates
Misty
Copeland documentary A Ballerina's Tale
In
Toronto at the Bloor Cinema, Bloor St east of Bathurst,
Wed.
Nov. 4 @ 630 pm and 915 pm, Thursday November 5 @ 645 pm.
UPDATE (November 1):
The Wednesday 6 pm and Thursday
evening showings of A Ballerina's Tale are SOLD OUT. If you already
booked your ticket online, you're ok. If not, you can try standing in
line for a returned ticket. I was informed that "if you get there early
enough" your chances are good to get a ticket, but when I inquired what
"early enough" was, they said "an hour before". There are still some
seats available for the Wed. 915 showing.
Also
available to download on iTunes and amazon.
In
2013, Misty Copeland danced the lead role on opening night of
American Ballet Theatre’s Firebird,
to great acclaim.
But once off stage she discovered she had six fractures in her left
shin. A
Ballerina’s Tale
is an intimate look at Misty during a crucial period in her life,
from the triumph of Firebird
and the painful recovery to her return to ballet and emergence as a
pop sensation, becoming the first African-American female principal
dancer in ABT's history.
