every year Diluc get’s volunteered for the role of the Nutcracker, but is it really against his will when he’s so good at it? 🤭

I am FINALLY getting to see Alvin Ailey this upcoming February!!!!  We had tickets for March 2020 and, of course, it was canceled, but now they’re coming back and I have tickets!

I’ll also be seeing the United Ukrainian Ballet’s new production of Giselle.  UUB is really cool because it’s a company made of dancers who fled Ukraine/Ukrainian dancers.  They’ve done Swan Lake and even a new production of Giselle by Ratmansky.  I’m stuck seeing the Giselle (ugh Ratmansky), but it’s such a cool company and I’m thrilled to support these dancers!

And then ABT is bringing Romeo and Juliet.  I can’t wait to see the casting!

I bought tickets to all three of these shows for my mom and me.  Fucking expensive, I swear.

I appreciate how in ballet, they decide to completely ignore the "Pelesnyk is a spirit who seduces women easily" part and just make him look like Knuckles the Echidna humanization.
