Irresistible: Justin Peck’s The Wind-Up premieres at NYCB

A Romantic looking back: the Staatsballett in La Sylphide

Katja Vaghi, 12th March

The catchphrase for the Staatsballet’s La Sylphide is 'Kilts and kicks’ or ‘kilts and beats’. A real feast for the eyes alas, it is over in no time!

Ivy Lin

Ivy Lin's love of ballet began in high school when at the school dance she quickly realized she had two left feet. One always admires things one cannot do, and so Ivy began to attend dance performances to marvel at the grace and beauty of bodies in motion. Ivy's day job is a biology teacher and after a long day in the classroom she loves to unwind by watching dance. She also enjoys theater, opera, pop and classical music. Ivy has her own blog (www.humbledandoverwhelmed,blogspot.com)
