Milou previously emailed this Moscow ballet class to students and parents of the school. I thought our FB friends would also be interested.

I wholeheartedly agree with this! Milou has a class for adult and teen beginners at 6:30 p.m. on Mondays. Come and experience the joy of dance.

Learning ballet as an adult is a chance to return to our bodies, to be true beginners again. It's an escape from work stress, a departure from overscheduled lives and a way to build confidence that you, too, can learn...

Nutcracker 2019 countdown! Today's the first big day. Performances tonight, 12/21/19, at 7:00 pm and tomorrow, 12/22/19, at 2:00 pm.

My last post for the 2019 countdown is an acknowledgment of the people who have made Ballet Fantasque such a success and for the friendships, connections, and lives that have touched us over the years. In special memory of David Hoskins, who contributed so greatly to Ballet Fantasque, and to our co-founder, Kira Ivanovsky.

I missed yesterday's post. Here it is. - It's the Nutcracker 2019 count-down! Performances on Saturday, 12/21/19, at 7:00 pm and Sunday, 12/22/19, at 2:00 pm.

Thursday's post is a nod to the next generation of dancers. I'm always so impressed with how much the young ones can learn and how self-sufficient and responsible they become. Kira and Milou have trained so many dancers throughout the years. I can't wait to see this year's little angels.
