I’m taking off early this weekend, up to Maine for a long pre-fourth-of-July celebration weekend. I can’t wait to be in my happy place, falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing and waking up to waffles. What are you up to this weekend? For some fun reads around the web…

Diana Vishneva took her final bows with ABT last week.

So bummed to have missed Miami City Ballet opening the season at Jacob’s Pillow.

Have you seen the work of Karolina Kuras? I’m addicted, and loved this podcast interview from Conversations on Dance.

With photos by Ms. Kuras, this interview featuring National Ballet of Canada Principal Sonia Rodriguez provides a refreshing combination of humanism and prima secrets.

I’m joining the team at Wonderful World of Dance! Look out for exclusive articles and interviews as I dive deeper into dance blogging.
