Stephen Colbert being a dancer in his heart appreciation post 4!

Stephen doing Ballet (& showing off his crotch) with David Halberg & Hee Seo on The Colbert Report.

As an ex dancer myself, I'll go easy but his turn out is pretty good, particularly his standing 5th position (its not quite 100% a 5th but its way over a 3rd) his arms are pretty solid & he keeps his shoulders lowered which is not easy whilst doing this in a suit jacket lol. He gets good height on his jumps and he's light on his feet as he runs. He doesn't spot when he turns but as he suffers from severe balance issues his complete turns are really solid. BUT HE NEEDS TO POINT HIS FEET/TOES 😆

Sorry for anyone having traumatic dance class flashbacks lol.

1972 Hit Songs

* * * *

I remember this “hit” list as I was working as a short order cook in “The Village” in NYC. The restaurant where I worked had a juke box and during the lunch rush, each and every song on this list would light up and play …. over and over. Some of them made me flinch every time i heard them. But it was mostly a fun job for awhile and then I took a go-go dancer job and we danced to the tunes in the juke box. Yes. All of them. I don’t think I will ever under any circumstances listen to “American Pie” again. Now “I’ll Take You There” by the Staples Singers :: that still bears listening. Also “O Girl” by the Chi-Lites.

“Then she spotted in the corner, glowing wonderfully, a Wurlitzer jukebox. ' Holy shit!' It was like being on a commuter train through the Bronx and seeing among the piles of crushed cars a pasture with a lone white horse.” ― Garth Risk Hallberg, City on Fire

The Second Coming: A Novel

By Garth Risk Hallberg.

[miss-mollys-ballet-blog]

One of the greatest ballet recordings of all time is Marco Spada with David Hallberg, Evgenia Obraztsova, Semyon Chudin, Olga Smirnova, and Igor Tsvirko from 2013. Everything about it is flawless and I can't really watch any Marco Spada without comparing it to that performance. No one can or will come close.

Thoughts on David Hallberg’s tenure as AD of the Australian Ballet? As an audience member I’ve been very impressed, but I’d love to get your opinion!

I enjoy his Instagram content a lot, particularly the snippets of him coaching dancers or giving tips in class. I can confidently say that there are at least 2 things I've picked up from those clips and have started applying in class. He definitely has not only good technical insight but also is an intelligent performer, I have enjoyed his explanations on how to make certain elements more stable or more flattering to different dancers.

I also think he's done a lot of great off-stage programming with different conversation events and backstage/rehearsal viewings. I am happy they're doing Cranko's R+J and also love his initiative with his "Idenity" program, highlighting two up-and-coming Australian choreographers. Not sure I would promote a production of Don Quixote as "based on the iconic 1973 film" or do all those classics in the same season but Hallberg is nothing if not ambitious. I haven't seen substantial footage of the company performances (there very well may be live streams or recent DVDs etc but I haven't seen them) the reviews have been consistently positive!
