The only thing I dislike about gorgeous ballerina Carla Körbes is that she doesn’t live in NYC, where I could see her all the time. Yes, fine, the Pacific Northwest Ballet principal will be visiting the Big Apple next week, when PNB comes to New York City Center. But I think getting that little taste […]
Carla Körbes is one of those rare ballerinas who transcend ordinary stardom, exuding a grace and delicateness that complement her powerful stage presence. When the Brazilian native announced her retirement from Pacific Northwest Ballet last year, hearts collectively broke. After training at the School of American Ballet, Körbes joined New York City Ballet as an […]

Though I’ve loved this company (especially the amazingly amazing Carla Körbes) for ages, it’s so rare that I actually get a chance to see them dance live. But not this week. This week I get to see them twice. The […]
