		<description><![CDATA[Some people think that going to the ballet really sucks!  But in the case of  Ben Stevenson’s highly acclaimed  Dracula, that was pretty much the point.  Ballet West’s 2011-12 season opener  invited Salt Lake City right into Dracula’s lair, and what we experienced took our breath away!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love the depth that the character Dracula has. I love the individuality of all the Draculas --  Beau Pearson, Christopher Anderson and me -- that we can be such different Draculas. Whether it’s the insane Dracula, the blood hungry Dracula, or the controlling Dracula, there are so many different moods and dimensions to this character. This guy’s been around for hundreds and hundreds of years, and you can only begin to tap into what you think are the emotions that he might have gone through and try to express them. It’s really amazing, the character development that you can do with this guy. And every day, playing with his character is different and changing, and it’s truly unlimited what you can do with this part as far as acting is concerned.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first dance of the Ballet West Academy Spring Performance was called Retro Shifts. As I sat and watched this intriguing, thoughtful and quietly expressive dance, the word that kept popping into my head was ‘brilliant’.  The Ballet West Academy, its administration and staff have to be commended on their hard work.  The relationships they have formed with each other and their dancers shows in the quality of their dancers, performances and productions.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the curtain raised for Ballet West’s Serenade, the first sound I heard was my own; I caught my breath.  And I wasn’t the only one; In unison, the audience inhaled a silent ‘ahh’, which was immediately followed by applause. The combination of Maestro Terence Kern and the Utah Chamber Orchestra’s  Serenade for Strings (Tchaikovsky) and the ethereal Ballet West dancers bathed in blue was simply breathtaking.  Such serenity, such beauty. It was my favorite ballet moment ever.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Ballet West’s Artistic Director, Adam Sklute takes an idea, molds it and presents his labor of love to the ballet patrons of Salt Lake City.  As the curtain rises at the Capitol Theatre, the question he likely asks is, “will you see it as I see it?”  I answer, how can I not? Adam Sklute clearly has a vision for Ballet West, and I believe it is to bring out the best in the dancers and to bring the best productions to Salt Lake City and beyond.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[December is a wonderful time to go to the ballet.  At no other time during the year will you see more children embracing the love of the ballet as they are exposed to the artistry of dance, music and the imagination of the Nutcracker.  The Nutcracker is where dreams begin, and for the parents and grandparents sitting alongside their little dreamers, it is a dream shared through generations.

		<description><![CDATA[I am amazed that more than 130 Ballet West dancers came together to present a showcase of seven works in a mere 60 minutes. Ballet West not only Dares Us To Dream, it encourages bringing every would-be dancer’s dream to life. The hour long Gala was a celebration of dance and music. How lucky we are to have these artists encouraging us to “let go” and be enchanted for an evening.
