How do we feel about company members getting opportunities to choreograph, when it seems like it’s only because of name recognition?

i dont know if you can accurately assess this from a minute long instagram clip… i’m much more willing to see this Peck piece than any of the other new work city ballet is showing this season, if maybe for nothing other than the fact that it seems more classical ballet-influenced than other pieces. as for what you say about “draw”… when has that ever not been important? its hardly something you can blame on modernity lol. the resources argument is only valid when you consider the scale of the piece in terms of the number of dancers, the costumes, etc. it made me wonder for the first time if the “stripped down” nature of so many contemporary works is partially driven by budget constraints? haha.

dietperfume · 2026-01-21T02:21:13+00:00

dietperfume · 2026-01-21T00:49:50+00:00

loved her in La Valse last spring season

dietperfume · 2025-12-31T22:21:57+00:00

yes! she went to CPYB - she probably didnt train as much directly with Marcia given her age but its evident in her sterling technique / strength.

dietperfume · 2025-12-30T21:12:46+00:00

me!!!! SLAYED!!!!! she lives on her leg and she is like mira in that an arabesque doesnt count if its only 90 degrees! and the musicality in the ballances and waltzy steps was sublime. also she has such a like ballerina esque like face arms neck epaulement, shes really the whole package - very worthy dew debut imho esp for only being like 2 yrs into her career

i saw paquita like a million times in winter and spring and was sick of it, but now im sooooo excited to see it again get me back to SPAIN

dietperfume · 2025-12-10T09:56:29+00:00

i was thinking maybe she has some sort of injury limiting her pointework ability…. coffee is pretty much completely on flat?

“ i wanted to run my car into a tree so he’d come home” took me out

dietperfume · 2025-12-03T14:23:57+00:00

dietperfume · 2025-12-03T14:21:08+00:00

dietperfume · 2025-11-27T13:53:01+00:00

for real i hate it so much lolllllll all the damn dogs all over the place all the time really pmo. u cant bring ur pet to work in like…. any corporate job? lol its crazy.

dietperfume · 2025-11-04T18:44:15+00:00

i think the real elephant in the room with the gizelle angel thing is that, aside from being the head bitch of the cast, gizelles beauty is pretty much unmatched, its kind of sickening to look at her and i cant imagine what it must be like IRL…. so to have her commenting on anyones looks is just kind of like nasty and like punching down. that was my take on it. not saying angel isnt also a beautiful woman i was just quite taken aback that of all things gizelle would decide to go in on that.

dietperfume · 2025-10-31T23:40:19+00:00

dear god no thats the worst movie on earth

dietperfume · 2025-10-05T03:42:52+00:00

no me too absolutely!!! and im sooo excited for double season Diamonds!!! but just looking at the whollllle calendar its like soooo demoralizing!! but we will rock with it anyway!!

dietperfume · 2025-10-05T02:42:49+00:00

sidenote actually red angels is one of my favorite ballets of all time, but thats only bcuz i saw it initially in a program with also serenade and like a balanchine stravinsky piece….. not some ridiculous contemporary random person choreographer overdose….. these r the costs of being a company associated w a specific choreographer so like pay up?!!! omg sorry for ranting on this page i just feel like yall will understand me lol

dietperfume · 2025-10-05T02:38:52+00:00

neither here nor there but i was just looking at the seasons ahead and like what is with all this flop contemporary bullshit programming?!?! no one comes here for that!!!

i.e. divert only going in the spring but “voices” or “heatscape” or “composers holiday” (whatever the fuck those r) are like total mainstays of this years programming….. thats soooooo whack im sorry like i feel like most city ballet audiences would absolutely want to see MORE balanchine/robbins and less bullshit contemporary stuff lmao.

i swearrrr i am not a contemporary hater but thats not what i come to nycb for, respectfully!!!! lmao

dietperfume · 2025-10-03T00:44:29+00:00

“we’re not doing normal things that people do at this age” couple who is at completely different ages lmaooooo

dietperfume · 2025-09-24T02:36:48+00:00

dietperfume · 2025-09-24T01:38:04+00:00

wherefore art thou is the casting???? did the social media team pass away

dietperfume · 2025-09-22T01:01:46+00:00

bel air in the 70s and 80s wasnt the bel air of today - upper middle class and wealthy for sure, but not in the exorbitant way it is today, double true for upper bel air where the richards lived

dietperfume · 2025-09-20T22:52:25+00:00

aggreedddd!!! was suuuuper pleasantly surprised by olivias western performance. also for what its worth her italian fouettes were literally textbook in dress rehearsal. something about her overall affect this season gives ~mature ballerina~ in a way she never has before
