Behind the Scenes with Ib Andersen: "Romeo & Juliet"
I’m very proud of this version. I love that each time, I’m able to see my choreography better and better because our dancers keep getting better. This ballet is a very human story, not a fairy tale, so I try to make the dancers look like beings instead of dancers. It’s very real.

Dancer's Story: Amber Lewis
It wasn't until I moved to the states did I fully understand the meaning of a “traditional Christmas”. Finally everything started to make sense. Those wintry Christmas movies and all those Christmas songs.

Celebrating Maria Simonetti
Dancer's Story: Michelle Vagi
Thanks to a little bundle of joy rapidly growing inside of me (in other words, I'm pregnant!) I'll be taking a break from dancing this season. Being pregnant definitely has its perks.
