A Season in the Life...

Now I move on to three scenes that carry the ballet until the end.

1). Jonathan/Brides  2). Lucy/soon to be Vampires/Blue Girls and 3). Dracula/Mina/four friends. 

Jonathan and the brides always took place in the castle.  He meets his brides for first time in the bed scene.  I, personally, have a soft spot for the music in this scene.   I danced to it with two of my favorite partners ever- Tim Early and Zdenek Konvalina.   Sigh!  

Anyway… I thought it would be difficult to choreograph this scene but I was wrong.  I set it, quite easily, and Tommy and the girls just flew away with it.  They brought sensuality and desire to this scene setting the mood for their scenes to follow.  Each scene containing intricate dancing, partnering, and lifts, all while trying to convince the audience of their blood-thirst needs.  

I must say, these scenes were done above my expectations.
