Richmond Ballet’s Studio Two: Liebeslieder Walzer
They’re back, and this time they are waltzing it up right in tuxes, ball gowns, and newly learned expressions of subtlety.

What a long, cruel summer without the ballet, eh? Pine no more, dance fans. The Richmond Ballet is back for the 2011-2012 season, beginning with the first iteration of their Studio Series, A Tribute to Igor Antonov.
The 2010-2011 draws to a close, but we’ll always have the memories…of graceful people doing elegant things while the rest of us clomp around with looks of admiration on our faces. JK, guys, they are totally polite about that.
OK, things need to start getting sloppy over at the ol’ RB, because yours truly is getting a little bit tired of trying to find new ways to spin glowing praise. Yet, like those perfect, musclely, beautiful jerks, I must be true to my craft.
Everyone is beautiful and they dance around transfixingly. It continues to be unfair, but as you see more and more, you mind less and less.
Just because it’s a local tradition, doesn’t mean they’re phoning it in. This year’s production of The Nutcracker is the real deal, and to this Richmond native, it means the season has really and truly begun.
