The dance.

Spoiler alert for So You Think You Can Dance Season 4:



Just... wow.
Mia Michaels is so. utterly. amazing!

I have a bit of a favourite in the top 16 already, but it's so early on in the comp that I'm not that attached yet. I'm caught up with all 11 episodes to date after a weekend of non-stop marathoning. :)

She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away

"Secret Garden" - Bruce Springsteen

Idioteque.

I caught Radio & Juliet the other day at the Esplanade.

My first contemporary ballet, not entirely what I expected, but pretty darn good all the same - think a ballet interpretation of R+J, cheoreographed to an utterly gorgeous Radiohead soundtrack. I have to admit that the music did it for me; I got lost somewhere between the deaths of Mercutio and Benvolio...

Check out a vid I found on youtube:



I'm absolutely stuck on "Idioteque" now. :)

***

Lauren experienced something joyous, but then had it turn into something dirty by the judgement of the outside world, and by her own judgement of herself. She stopped the experience, out of fear and insecurity, an insecurity she felt her whole life, just like the rest of us. But for a brief moment she lived, and hopefully there's going back now.
