    There were a lot of boring dances in this! I was really disappointed in this video.

    This ballet troup is filled with talent and uncharacteristic choreographical humor. That being said, about half of this program is brilliant and half you want to fast-forward through. Where they shine, ironically, are in the staged, classical ballet scenes, with such greats as Natalia Makarava, Frederick Bujones and Cynthia Gregory (who does 32 Fouette's en pointe!!) But there is also one Corps Pas de Deux that is stunning. So please just fast-forward through the boring dances and don't give up. There are moments of greatness. Enjoy!
