The Athletic Prowess of the Men of Colorado Ballet

The Athletic Prowess of the Men of Colorado Ballet

Colorado Ballet may have turned a few heads this weekend. Deservedly so.

In a city like Denver, which is not New...

Gettin' Nutty this Christmas

Gettin’ Nutty this Christmas

The Nutcracker Ballet is like your mom’s meatloaf. A comfort food, a staple, and something you get burned out of after you’ve eaten leftovers of it for a week. Dancers in every company in the Denver area have probably performed every role in the ballet, and yes, that means cross-dressing, or morphing into a variety...
