Their principal dancer was a negro man (sorry if thats not quite an appropriate word now I cannot remember his name).<br />He was in Australia using our dance school studio to train in. and his manager spotted me, asked me to do some things, asked me to watch what he did to a piece of music and repeat it ( which I did) and thats when the offer came via my dance teacher Joan Halliday....simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329985554257923069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31111931.post-48567767290627642572010-09-01T20:27:41.608-07:002010-09-01T20:27:41.608-07:00SIMON - wow, do you mean SAB (School of American B...SIMON - wow, do you mean SAB (School of American Ballet)????

It's an oasis of peace in a throbbing busy city.<br />But it's wonderful you're in San Francisco now, such a beautiful place!<br /><br />GIULIA - it's hot here too and I still wonder how I could actually have that soup last weekend. It was delicious though. No pickles - that's zucchini on top of the noodles. It also came with a wedge of green lime, which gave the soup a fresh, tangy taste. Yum.<br />I wish you were here. Sigh.<br />I love your "stentorian voice" mock-trailer! Though if Earl hits, I won't be laughing anymore.<br />Un bacio for Signorina Giulia.Mary-Laurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05014386827410465480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31111931.post-5317159285846397042010-08-31T11:55:58.068-07:002010-08-31T11:55:58.068-07:00Makes me want to hop on the bus right now.

You'd have to pull me 'round in a red wagon or something. lol<br /><br />I'm looking at old NYC ballet flyer...do you remember? Black & white only. I'll look for it & post in September. You girls are so darn picky (about the turn out...but yeah, I know). I'm rather interested in that soup...is that a pickle on there? Maybe Laura can tell us a good place to find out how to put something like that together at home. Only one place I like in DC & it is a noodle front shop but it is sooooooooo hot & bad air today.<br /><br />Hey, M-L. Watch out. Hurricane Earl is headed for us both (in terms of wind & rain. Stock up on your batteries, download podcasts, & recharge iPod, speaker, etc.). <br /><br />Read in stentorian film trailer voice: "In a world filled with fear & rotten weather, one lone ballerina-girl braved the dark city. Alone but for her noodle soup.
