This is my very first time being part of the creation of a new work! It is so exciting to see how a choreographer, especially Ron, works, and how the pictures in his mind become a reality on the dance floor. As we are now in full swing Gatsby mode, I have been able to see a bit more of the other rehearsals. And being someone who has never read or seen The Great Gatsby, it has been extremely interesting to watch the story unfold as Ron creates it. Being part of this has been unlike any other dance experience I have been apart of. For example, when Ron asks us to do something he sees in his mind, although it might sound crazy, you give it a shot, and even though you might not do it exactly the way he explained, it is now what the step is, or something in-between. Because nothing has been set in stone yet! Its great! Currently Ron is creating a "fight" scene, it's so much fun, he tells us what moves to do, and then we put a little of our own twist on it, it's really fun! If you want to see this "fight" scene, you can find tickets at http://www.sacballet.org/index.php/season/420/
See you at the after party in the roaring 20's
