• D and L, Dancers

  Posted on February 22, 2012 by lauraet in in other news, teaching.

  Tweet Monday night we learned that one of our dancers is fluent in American Sign Language, a topic in which Daniel and I share a real but largely hypothetical interest.  After comparing notes on some signs (the ones we’ve picked up from watching ABC Family’s Switched at Birth are correct, but utterly random–“Ferris wheel”?) and […]

• Black Swan: WHAP!

  Posted on February 2, 2012 by lauraet in Ballerina Corner, dancing in the media, in other news.

  Tweet Last night, thanks to the mysterious appearance of the HBO channels on our cable lineup, I finally watched Black Swan.  I approached the movie with extreme trepidation: because I get creeped out really easily and I don’t like to be startled, several people had told me I shouldn’t see it at all.  But I […]
