Rehearsal for 24 Preludes  Photographer: Manny Rotenberg
The lento pas de deux is followed by a solo for the male dancer. The prelude is marked "vivace." So this means that the energy is pumped up a bit. Still Joseeph is a fairly elegant male dancer, so the piece always maintained a fairly refined air.

This is followed by a second pas de deux (largo). This piece has a very definite feeling of remembrance, old memories that stay with you. A sort of beautiful regret.

Daily Stuff: Worked some dancers into new parts. A little work on the Spanish dance. Last Florence class of the year today.
