Lines is really beautiful.  Alonzo's dancer's are not the normal waifs, but instead tend to be stronger and more muscular.  I've seen it myself, and really enjoyed it.

Just seeing those hot male dancers in tights is worth it. 20 is nothing compared to what you pay to see the jeoffrey or bolshoi ballet. Its fluid, beautiful and a male dancers powerful quadriceps are an artistic vision of.....mmmmmm...mmmmmm....good.

It's great for a laugh (I speak as an ex ballet dancer).

Seriously? I now find ballet hilarious: I can't keep a straight face. Modern dance is another matter, but the ballet has aged dreadfully. The trumpetty music, the poor plots and exaggerated acting... it's a waste on beautiful dancers.

I wish it would evolve.

$20 for a professional show of any kind is a bargain. Dancers are the hardest working and most unsung of all artists. Give them a bit of support.

Wow. This stuff looks similar to the work of  LALALA Human Steps (an amazing Canadian troupe). I envy you the opportunity!

Nod nod nod... it's always good to go to the theatre, whatever the occasion... well... I don't know if I'd go for yet another university production of 'Waiting for Godot', but you get my drift...

Just pretend it's their socks.

Or muscular small chested women with strapons.

Just cut a verticle rectangle in your program, big enough to see one dancer through, and hold it in front of your eyes. It's only $20, you might have to work a little yourself, FTG.

I'm picturing you in ballet boots. Then again I picture most women in ballet boots it's my porn upbringing.

Nah, those ballet boots are trashy, trashy as a garbage can dressed as a cheap Hollywood whore.

Real point shoes on the other hand, ah... now, those are the business...
