"Caos"

Yesterday was a busy day, but it ended in an event that was appropriately named: "Caos" (Italian for, you guessed it, Chaos). It was what from the posters looked like the dance recital from the local dance school. Since I'd wanted to check out the dance school for Ashley, I thought that attending the recital would be a good start.

Florence, Angela, and I arrived home at 8:55 (pm) and had enough time to get a quick bite & make it to the theater (a different one, not the one across the street) by 9:10. Ashley was dying to go with Angela and me, so we set off as a trio. We purchased our tickets (the first indication that it was an actual "show", not a recital), and settled down into the velour seats.

At 9:25, the show started. It was amazingly well done! One of the featured dancers, Mad Mike, is extraordinary -- not just his dancing, but his facial expressions and his general charisma. A few of the students clearly weren't "in the groove" but in general, it was a thumbs-up performance.

And I've just seen the posters for a ballet at the Teatro Municipale for next week.  I'm off to book the tickets!

Love,
