Pic of the Day



Sometimes Isabella strikes me as one of the most graceful little creatures I've ever seen. Her little ballet slipper socks suit her well (thanks, Auntie Lynne!).

Danza Extraordinaria: Sylvie Guillem

By far one of the most beautiful and gifted dancers of our time. There are so many amazing videos of her out there. These are a few of my favorites.

Evidentia (Evidence)
Great at capturing Sylvie as a person and a dancer. And those feet!!

Her precision and control are just amazing.



William Forsythe's In The Middle Somewhat Elevated I
My favorite! I love modern ballet. She really really shines, it's breathtaking.

Older Sylvie in Wet Woman
Not your typical tutu ballet--the awkward, more choppy movements highlight her gorgeous lines and feet all the more.
