Don't forget to watch Jared Matthews and Yuriko Kajiya perform the Don Q PdD tomorrow night on So You Think You Can Dance on Fox at 9PM.
Warner, UC31 and some of the other guys are coming over to Haglund's pad to watch the show and jump on the trampoline.
Good luck J&Y — Knock us out!
Post-Program Update-Thursday
Weren't they fantastic? Miss Kajiya was ready to hold her balances all the way through the next commercial break, wasn't she? Terrific confidence and spirit from both dancers. Is it on YouTube yet?
2nd Post-Program Update-FridayOf course, it's on YouTube already, and may be for a short time until Fox yanks it, but here's the link and here it is:

Not exactly "Guantanamera" is it.

i actually turn off the tv after the pdd! bar exam is coming up soon! oh man. i did think jared caught yuriko late in something midway, but overall it was great. i cringed a little when the host said something like, oh wasn't that nice, like a little girl's fantasy, which seemed to say that ballet was for little girls, and now the show would go on with the real adult dancing. sigh.

A perfect example of how American ballet dancers are far inferior to their international counterparts. Any student of 16 should do as well as they did. Sad.

Hi Lola. Thanks for reading Haglund's Heel!
Tell us what during the two minute "TV version" of the Don Q was objectionable - other than the fact that it WAS a "TV version" of the great PdD that most of us know and love.
