It's an established fact that Sundays are for ballet. I was going to share a video from a ballet performance, but then this caught my eye.
Thanks for a sweet week, guys!

So, I heard from somewhere that it's World Ballet Day (wonder who that was). Better start stretching now.
October already? Yeesh.

AMR also noticed the embarrassment of riches of Prince videos right now. I've been wanting to play them for years only to be stymied time and time again. I appreciate the outpouring of amazing live performances out there right now, if only so we appreciate the depths of his talent and awesomeness.
Here he is with noted Twins fan Misty Copeland.

My ballet class is on Sundays, so I knew I wanted to share something somehow related to ballet today. I've been interested in the choreography of Justin Peck since seeing Ballet 422 earlier this year. While looking up more about his other ballets, I came across this bit from Everywhere We Go, a collaboration with Sufjan Stevens.
I love that it's shot in a studio since this is where dancers spend most of their time--not onstage. I take a class with live piano accompaniment, and some of the best moments are when it's all working and I almost feel as if I'm inside the music.
For more about the musical side of the collaboration, check out this article.
Thanks for having me as guest dj, and I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day weekend!
