How cute are the costumes for Alexei Ratmansky's, Pictures at an Exhibition?! Slap on a pair of stilettos 👠 and I'm good to go✨ Fashion designer, Adeline André used Wassily Kandinsky’s watercolor, "Color Study, Squares with Concentric Circles" as an inspiration, and clearly echo the artwork. Hope you'll come this last week of shows coming up-It's one that shouldn't be missed!! #pnb #picturesatanexhibition #adelineandre #alexeiratmansky #pnb1617 #noelanipantastico • 📷@angelasterlingphoto (at McCaw Hall)

Last show blues... it's been an amazing program for @pacificnorthwestballet with its Seattle premiere of Jean-Christophe Maillot's Cendrillon ✨ There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes during Cendrillon so I'd like to take a moment and give thanks to the coaches, stagers, artistic staff, musicians, technicians, wardrobe, costume shop, and dressers for their brilliant work on this production. You made us dancers shine 💖✨ #Cendrillon #pnb1617 #magic #fairytale #glitter #everywhere #love #gratitude #jeanchristophemaillot #fairygodmother (at McCaw Hall)

Another guest @lucienpost arrived at the studios yesterday ✨😊✨ It's a very special moment @pacificnorthwestballet with a Seattle premiere this weekend and two very special guests joining us! Seeing the company grow into this production the last few weeks makes me proud to be here ❤ #Cendrillon #pnb1617 #jeanchristophemaillot #fairytale #magic #glitter #everywhere (at Pacific Northwest Ballet)

I imagine my Prince and I running barefoot through a huge field together in this beautiful pas de deux from second act of Cendrillon 💖✨Thank you @lindsaythomasphoto 🙏🏼 and @jeanladanse #jamesmoore #cendrillon #pnb1617 #jeanchristophemaillot #peace #love #hippies #barefoot #fairytale @j_yo (at Pacific Northwest Ballet)

This past week at PNB we gained another company member, April Ball from @lesballetsdemontecarlo , who will be guesting with us as my Fairy Godmother for both weekends of Cendrillon ✨April was once a Principal dancer with Boston Ballet and Suzanne Farrell ballet and has been with BMC since 2004. The role of the Fairy is what April was taught in her audition for BMC, and she's been doing it ever since --13 years! It's not in PNB's culture to have guests, and seems to be the norm in other major ballet companies, so I'm grateful to see this unfold here and pray that it happens more. I can't tell you how much it improved my dancing to see other dancers and companies outside of this realm when I left PNB in 2008. We are so fortunate to have this veteran of Jean-Christophe's works among us! Please welcome this beautiful artist to Seattle and the McCaw Hall stage ✨ #shesmagic #aprilball #fairygodmother #cendrillon #pnb1617 #gratitude #love #magic ✨📷: Alice Balngero 💗 (at Pacific Northwest Ballet)
