Early morning television promo this morning. We all met bright and early at 5:30 to appear on San Diego's CW channel 6 to promote the Nutcracker. The dancers did a stellar job, as ambassadors of the show.

Because of the early call, they got the rest of the day off. After a nap, I went and taught a master class at the Coronado School of the Arts. It was a mixed class (beginners and intermediate). Always a difficult thing to teach that kind of class, as you want to make sure that ALL of the dancers get something out of the experience, and that they ALL get it within that 90 minutes. Luckily as I was at the 90 minute mark, I was told that I could take an extra hour with the dancers. So we were able to hit a lot more concepts.
