Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Amanda Morgan!

 

Yes!...Black Ballet History...

...is 'So Far Away!'

We now remember, and say the name...

...Amanda Morgan!

Amanda is making great news all over the 

place! She studied hard at DT Northwest 

and NWBallet School, doing year rounds 

and summer intensives at Boston Ballet 

and especially Alonzo King LINES Ballet. 

Amanda then joined Pacific North West 

Ballet and quickly rose to prominence 

as the First Black Soloist there. But she 

is making an even greater impact 

choreographing at Film Festivals, and 

featuring her own films at the Northwest 

Film Forum. Thank her for the birthing 

of the Velocity Dance Center. Amanda 

also created the very popular Seattle 

Project, which premieres up and coming 

controversial filmmakers!

 

"She's Busting Down Ceilings All Over

The Place!"

Amanda has a mid-upper-lip

Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)

called "The Way!"

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Geoffrey Holder!

 

Yes!...Black Ballet History... 

...is 'So 'The Hottest Ticket In Town!''

We remember, and say the name...

...Geoffrey Holder!

First, this Man, a strong 'Lover-of-Life,' who was 

also very good at dancing and acting and singing, 

was many parts a brilliant Showman! We knew 

this and he always satiated our deep-throated 

entertainment appetites! Each of his big-stage 

performances started out with great airs of 

anticipation, like the audience members couldn't 

believe it, and that they were the luckiest people 

in the world, because they were going to see 

the 'Great One,' live...right now, to give them 

more than their money's worth! 

Some observers still can recount, with 

amazement, what they witnessed first hand!

"You Got People Still Talkin'!"

Geoffrey also happens to have a...'Huge'...mid-upper-lip

Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)

called "Look!"

Teetay!...The First...African Ballerina!

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Preston W. Dugger III!

 

 

Yes!...Black Ballet History...

...is 'So Front Street!'

We remember, and say the name...

...Preston W. Dugger III ! 

This photogenic and spirited young man 

has so much working for him...he is to be 

enjoyed! It seems that many Ballerinas 

compete for his attention and step up 

their games to get noticed by him. 

Preston has shifted gears and found his 

calling to perform in Broadway 

Musicals. No worries, though... because 

he sure does have what it takes to make

the World better!

"He's Gonna Be Breakin' Some Legs!"

Preston also has a mid-upper-lip

Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)

called "Encore!"

Teetay!...The First...African Ballerina!

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Paunika Jones!

Yes!...Black Ballet History...

...is 'So Rectifying!'

We remember, and say the name...

...Paunika Jones! 

Paunika excels in her 'Job' in the King's 

Court! She telegraphs her fine motions 

precisely and instinctively! To me, it seems 

like she's 'having a party' when she dances, 

even if it's a melancholy piece. She 

continuates in her Space/Time directions, 

velocity and acceleration included, down 

to the practiced nanosecond! I'm so 

thankful for the social media videos on her. 

Otherwise, I wouldn't be aware of this 

'Force in the Danseuse Universe!'

"I Feel So Good When She Dances!"

Paunika also has a mid-upper-lip

Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)

called "Substance!"

Black Ballet History Month!...Balletist Of The Week!...Alexandra Terry!

 

Yes!...Black Ballet History...

...is 'So Encouraging!'

We remember, and say the name... 

....Alexandra Terry! 

Alexandra beautifully exceeds the 

rigorous standards of the King's Court 

Ballerinas! Her jumps are almost 

stratospheric and her pirouettes are 

rotationally crisp! While seeing her 

perform, I started out trying to grade 

her technical methods. But I soon put 

down my pen and paper to holistically 

soak up Alexandra's strong presence 

and effect on the night's production!

Alexandra also has a mid-upper-lip

Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)

called "Vibrance!"
