Cold war brews in Russian ballet
The Bolshoi ballet has been rocked by rows between traditionalists and modernisers. Now the same tensions look set to waylay the Kirov

"Russian ballet watchers are in for a good spring with the Kirov's tour. But a depressi...ng future awaits if the factions in St Petersburg and Moscow start to harden and a cold war of dance ideologies starts to brew."

San Francisco Ballet New Works Festival - 10 Choreographers speak about their 10 new works...
S.F. Ballet's New Works Festival
San Francisco
by Rachel Howard
Christopher Wheeldon: "For "Within the Golden Hour," Wheeldon said, he's given himself a break from devilishly complex scores. The music by Italian composer Ezio Boss...o is, he said, "rich and emotional but not particularly challenging. I thought I'd do something expansive instead of pushing myself into a mathematical exercise."

I just stumbled onto a social network for dancers call "The-inter-mission" and must say they have done a very nice job on it.
Must check it out if you think you can handle another social network...

Dance Source Everyone should head over to voxdance.com, very good selection of dance videos and of course check out The Winger (http://www.thewinger.com/words/), one of the few decent dance blogs.

It's difficult to post YouTube Videos on Dance Source's Facebook group so I'll start off sharing Links here.Post the title and maybe some info about who's dancing and of course the YouTube Link in a "Comment"attached to "YouTube Dance Videos" and then we'll all know where to look.

Welcome to Dance Source Blog.This is a bit of an experiment but could turn into something really useful and fun.The Dance Source Blog is here to give us a place outside of Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=27444635611) where we can share our experiences, thoughts and ideas.
