Inspired by: Julie Kent, principal dancer of American Ballet Theatre. The graceful beauty is coming to Boca Raton, Florida with Marcelo Gomes, to perform Giselle with the Boca Ballet Theatre July 30-August 1. This is a story of true love and loyalty. My intern Ally does not know this, but she got her job because her cover letter referenced Giselle. Me, not having a clue what she was talking about, googled it and it took my breath away to see Mikhail Baryshnikov perform Albrechts’ variation from act II of Giselle in 1977. It’s as if he was floating on air. Why dance when you can fly?

P.S. Did you see the recent post in Wedding Chicks featuring a Ballerina Bride photo shoot? Pretty.
