((I apologize for my lateness in posting this, but it's been one of those weeks. If your character is a member of the ballet company, this is your chance to post whatever you'd like your character to perform, either solo, with a partner, or both. Please keep your choices limited to ballet, though you may use this opportunity to perform contemporary, as well as classical ballet. Also, performances should not be overly long, so that we can squeeze in as many as we can. Both regular performers and guests are welcome to post. Also, if your character is not a member of the ballet but would like to participate, drop me a PM and we'll make it happen. And as always, remember to have fun with it! :) ))

Between chasing after an active three-year-old and helping run the company, there wasn't much time left for Christian and Merethyl to perform together on stage anymore, but they always made an exception for the gala.

This year, they had chosen to perform the "Bedroom Pas de Deux" from Act I of Manon, a scene that takes place well before the ballet turns tragic.

It was not a particularly difficult piece for the seasoned dancers, but as a married couple, they were able to infuse the dance with the passion, lust, and longing that Manon and Des Grieux must have been feeling for one another, just as they did for each other.

Tony and Anya's performance of the White Swan Pas de Deux from Swan Lake was one of the couple's favorites and a special treat for the audience who rarely got to see Tony and Anya dance together anymore now that they were raising a family privately and focusing on directing and choreographing professionally.

Still, they were always a joy to watch, and though they were not getting any younger, they were still able to bring the house to their feet with resounding applause.
