Saturday Night Fever

Today we finally received the DVDs of A & N's performances in La Fille Mal Gardee in Bangkok from four months ago. Coincidentally, this evening we bundled ourselves into a taxi and headed across to the China Grand Theatre on the other side of town to see the 3rd Beijing International Ballet Invitational for Dance Schools, Demonstration Performance 2. Sounds boring? Not a bit of it. Around 20 international dance schools were invited to perform over the course of a week. We chose 'China night', featuring seven very different performances by schools from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The standard was incredibly high: brilliant choreography, dancing, costumes, lighting and stage design. N kept saying "That's incredible!" Maybe she should have been a judge.
