Well, I thought I would share the russian dance from the nutcracker - get into the holiday spirit and all. But I came across this and thought I would share it instead. Fascinating dance troupe. I don't care who you are, if you ever get a chance to see these folks perform, it will be well worth the price of admission. And if you are in Philly and want to see the nutcracker performed by the philly ballet company - don't waste your money unless you are taking kids to see it. I took my wife to see it and was embarrassed. But do see/hear the philly pops for sure. Great orchestra.
Congrats on your promotion BigS, sorry to hear about your dad, but his comment about sobriety was uplifting.
