[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone see Sarah Kaufman's piece on the Washington Ballet today?  Very interesting, and very true.  Septime Webre had carved out a niche with his choreography, which appealed to so many.  Under Julie Kent, their programs always seem stale.  And it's noticeable how many seats are not filled in the audience.  I think the Board should not have hired someone with absolutely no experience in running a company.  [b]And apparently Julie hired her best friend as Head of School- another person with absolutely no experience.  That is not a recipe for success by any stretch. No wonder they are losing season ticket holders and students at the school.[/b]  [/quote]

My DD has been at TWB school for 8 years.  The new HOS is wonderful.  The atmosphere she brings and tone she sets has been extremely positive —even shutting down mean-girl gossip her first year there about certain Nutcracker student casting as being better than other casts.  Julie Kent even taught one of my DD’s Ballet classes last year — she just showed up as her substitute teacher that day.  My DD and our family were so blown away by Julie Kent’s genuine encouragement of these young dancers and generosity in teaching a class of dancers that were barely en pointe.  We love Julie Kent and the HOS.[/quote]
