Every year the company has a 4-5 week Swan Lake season. The premiere for it is tonight.
It is a very different version than any other you would see. We do it outdoors in the Chapultepec forest. The stage is surrounded by water and has real trees all over it. Sometimes making it hard to dodge them while dancing.
Even though it is a difficult stage to dance on ( dealing with bugs, trees, and watery eyes from the cold wind) the natural setting really makes this ballet unique.
I will be dancing Odette, the white swan tonight. I am feeling a little very anxious and scared but hopefully it will go well (fingers crossed). If you happen to be in the audience please enjoy it and send all sorts of positive energy to us.
