What’s on for the upcoming tour to Paris?
Sounds exciting. We’re all very excited about visiting Paris! We’re taking a slightly revised version of “Don Quixote” (only one intermission, and limited sets due to it being an outside venue) and we’re taking three world premieres – new works by Lubovitch, Wheeldon, and Paul Taylor. What pointe shoes do you wear? I wear Freed 4 ½ X on the left and 5 no X on the right, as my right foot is “archier.” It’s a constant battle with the right shoe. My maker for both is “Crowns.” What do you like to do outside of the ballet? I love to read English mysteries and enjoy reading about the history of the Elizabethan era. We have a Maine Coon cat whose name is Webster and who weighs in at a fearsome 17 pounds and is 16 years old. Our son, James, is five and likes to dance! Any final comments about your career or anything special you’d like us to know? I’ve been with the Company for 17 years and I love it from the top to the bottom. There is a great camaraderie and gentility about everyone. We are
