NativeNYker's Rants, Thoughts & Merde

Marcelo Gomes, Guillaume Cote, David Hallberg, Denis Matvienko and Ivan Vasiliev in Kings of The Dance: Opus 3 at City Center

Let us start by disclosing that seeing Marcelo Gomes’ name headlining a performance makes us stand at attention.  C’est vrai.  Add choreographer Nacho Duato to this already military response and, well, we get ready to sprint across the valley to get our asses the the ticket counter – or online to click a purchase, whichever is closest – faster than a if it were a booty call.

So when our dearest friends Rich & Edward text proclaiming a coupling of the two above named, along with Guillaume Cote, David Hallberg, Denis Matvienko and Ivan Vasiliev, appearing in Kings of the Dance: Opus 3, we got to pulling out Prada boxes of shoes and what to wear with them to Saturday nights performance at City Center, right quick.  YES, we have wi-fi!

The night promised nothing short of stellar delivery of technique, line, beauty and bravora by a cast of some of the most talented ballet dancers anywhere!  A sure thing.  And how many times can one bank on that?

Not many, as we have discovered.  Booty calls have been known to under deliver!

Well, we love not having to entertain doubt and throw caution to the winds on a brisk Saturday night, let us tell you!

And what better way to spend an evening than witnessing a royal quintuplet of peaking perfection of bodies in motion?

We will let y’all ponder that thought…
