A major part of #TheTimesAreRacing has been an exploration of gender-nuetrality • to see how far we can push equality amongst the sexes through the lens of ballet. Last Season we saw Ashly Isaacs (@a_ei6) kick some ass in the role originally created for Robert Fairchild. Not a step of the original choreography was compromised, and she pulled it off with flying colors. This Season we are taking it one step further, and will have the debut of our first male-male interpretation of the ballet's central pas de deux (originally choreographed on Tiler Peck and Amar Ramasar). Its been very special to collaborate and monitor this new pulse of the duet • to witness how the dynamics and counterbalance of Daniel Applebaum (@dapplebaum) and Taylor Stanley (@t_stanley) can shift the impact and meaning of the choreography. I'm very excited to share with you all -- Come see Daniel and Taylor dance this on October 12th #loveislove #genderneutral #equality #diversity #beauty #pride #proud
