chanda had a ballet class before she had to run off to a tech rehearsal. francesca on the left takes class with her, and in the middle is isabella, francesca's younger sister. they'll head out to vermont tomorrow to see their grandmother. monday begins a week of no dance or music classes as everyone has spring break . . including the public schools (i think).
afterwards, chanda and i took 1 train uptown to 59th street and the alvin ailey studios where her tech rehearsal was going on. she's performing in a lovely piece by anne kelly who began her own dance company with a musician friend: KMdancemusic. in the above pic, megan the costume designer is finishing up last minute details . . this never stopped. she worked on last minute details up until the second and last show.
chanda danced in a corner until it was time to run her piece.
finally it was time to work the piece out with the pianist.
this is the only shot i have of the dance . . and if you watch closely they are only marking it. i wish i had a movie of their dancing. it was so beautiful!! (as were the costumes!) the music is chopin, nocturne no. 1 in b flat minor. i love listening to anne describe what she needs to the pianist.
