Rehearsal for Don Juan. Photo by Manny Rotenburg. Dancer: Maxim Tchernychev. After the three gypsy prostitutes complete their variations, rather than choose one, the Don dances by himself.

Daily Stuff - Today, we consolidated our stuff from our old storage to our new storage. So happy. It makes it that much easier to know where stuff is. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped out. The old storage was above our old studios. Wish I could say there was a bit of emotional pang going back, but there wasn't. Just relief.
