This winter has packed itself with the seasonal Nutcracker tradition.
That means I’ll be performing the Grand Pas de Deux in three different places three different weekends. With three different partners.
Each weekend is mostly similar choreography, but with variations. I’ve rehearsed with all three partners this month and once December comes, I’m have to spend the days before each performance weekend remembering that weekend’s choreography.
That’s not difficult, having performed this piece so many times now.
The highlight this year is that I get to go to the Pacific Northwest for the first time in my life and I’ll make a quick stop in Silicon Valley to visit a friend, breaking up the long trip to the island of Bainbridge.
