yesterday there were baby ballet classes dancing too and i have a natural feeling with kids so i kinda adopted one of the baby girls there taking care of her, and she only wanted to be with me for the entire rehearsals and all the backstage pictures i'm with her. so i met her mother yesterday and she tanked me for the patience and care i had with her daughter and she confessed to me that she just lost a little boy. now she asked for my instagram to thank me properly and honestly it feels so strange that i went trough the same things as that little girl, but my brother was older than me when he died.. we connected so beautifully. it must be a soul thing, i guess

ghosts are real, this much i know. there are things that tie them to a place, very much like they do to us. some remain tethered to a patch of land, a time and a date, the spilling of blood, a terrible crime… there are others, others too that hold onto an emotion, a drive, loss, revenge, or love. those, they never go away.

my ballet teacher has been dedicating the warm up songs to one of us every week but she chooses the song that "reminds her of us". the struggle is real when it's your week and she puts on carry on my wayward son. i fear this tv show is my legacy

The Dracula Ballets

And Where to Watch Them

Dracula by Michael Pink: Originally staged in 1997, this ballet's plot is the closest to the novel. Seward does not appear in this version, his role being merged with Van Helsing's. Notable for eeriely beautiful and sometimes brutal choreography, the Harker and Dracula pas de deux, Renfield dancing in a straitjacket, and Quincey dancing briefly with a rifle.

Watch it here.

Dracula by Krzysztof Pastor: This version of Dracula portrays Mina as the reincarnation of the count's late wife, similar to Bram Stoker's Dracula. That film's score is also used in this ballet. Quincey does not appear in this version. Notable for Renfield's haunting dances, one of which he somehow manages while tied to other patients, Dracula's creepy servants, the Dracula Jonathan Tango, and an onstage blood transfusion.

Watch it here.

Dracula: The Romantic Ballet by Ben Stevenson. This ballet is set entirely in Transylvania with a new cast of characters. Besides Dracula, the mortal leads are villagers Flora and Svetlana, and Svetlana's suitor Frederick. Notable because this ballet wants you to know that Dracula fucks: he not only has his ever present brides, but an entire harem to go along with them. He even has locals employed in bringing maidens to his castle. Also this Dracula has seemingly human servants who are fine with it all, I guess.

Watch it here.

Dracula by David Nixon. This ballet intends to portray Dracula as a more ambiguous, nuanced creature. As Nixon puts it, ‘All creatures need to be loved and the love that Dracula shares with Mina transcends the boundaries of good and evil.’ Quincey does not appear in this version. Notable for the creepiest Old Dracula ever seen in anything (with the fun nervous habit of biting himself when he's trying not to bite others), a Seward and Renfield dance, and vampire brides with Christina Aguilera in "Lady Marmalade" hairstyles.

Watch it here (ignore the title and video description, they are incorrect).

Kont Dracula by the Turkish State Opera and Ballet. This is a 2013 adaptation for which I can find no information or video. If you know of a recording of this performance, please comment.
