Re: “Stylistic collisions with good and bad results at Carolina Ballet”

Wow, I have to say that the hip-hop dance was my favorite of the evening by far. I have attended dozens of evenings with the Carolina Ballet over the years and very few dances follow any sort of story except for the pantomimes. The Rite of Spring was good. The middle dance, Asylum, was my least favorite though it was good. I obviously don't understand dance like the expert reviewer.

I am very happy that Weiss is mentoring younger choreographers. I'm also happy that Zalman Raffael decided to avoid the unnecessary gymnastic moves that some of the other young choreographers include in their creations.
