Hi Janelle!
Seeing as your daughter is on the younger side, I would definitely recommend CPYB. They are fantastic with younger dancers at instilling a solid foundation of strong, clean technique. I learned so much there when I went at age 15.
GKA has lost almost all of their best faculty so I can’t say I would recommend their programming anymore :( Such a shame as they had some truly amazing instructors from Vaganova teaching at the school, but most have left. Let me know if you have any other questions!
The highlight of our two-month stay in Paris this summer, hands down, was the day and a half Jan and I spent as extras for a film being made for the Paris Opera Ballet.

We had short roles but fairly prominent ones — we’re the first people you see when La Grande Sortie (“The Grand Exit”) opens, two Americans arguing gently about why they’re late as they run up to a queue of well-dressed Parisians waiting to enter the theater.
The 10-minute film was written and directed by Los Angeles photographer and filmmaker Alex Prager, who is increasingly well known in the theater world, both as a still photographer and as a director of short films centered on the world of entertainment.
La Grande Sortie is one of the first works to be included in the Paris Opera’s “3e scène” (“3rd Stage”), the digital extension of the opera ballet championed by the choreographer and director of the Paris Opera Ballet, Benjamin Millepied. Born in Bordeaux, raised in Senegal, he is best known in the United States as a former principal dancer for the New York City Ballet and the husband of actress Natalie Portman. (We saw an HD video of his Daphnis et Chloë, music by Ravel, at the Sarasota Opera a couple of weeks ago and thought it was magnificent. It was recorded before he became head of the ballet in 2013.)
If you are seriously interested in music and the arts, as we are, the opportunity to spend a day on and around the main stage of the Opéra Bastille made the time and effort worthwhile. It’s a huge rush to be inside the magnificent 2,700-seat hall when there’s no performance going on — just dozens of costume assistants, staff, electricians and other backstage folk, plus some very complicated camera setups — the nuts and bolts which, put together in just the right configuration, make up the pinnacle of international ballet and opera.
What’s a figurant?
We were among Natalie Portman has been in Australia for much of the last 18 months filming Thor: Love and Thunder (out in 2022) and spending time in the great outdoors with her husband, dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied, and their two children. She’s also been busy filming the campaign for the newly retooled Miss Dior eau de parfum scent and bottle design. Since its inception in 1947, Miss Dior has been the iconic fragrance of the Dior Maison and one of its bestsellers. Since 2011, the Academy Award-winning actress has been the face of the rosy Miss Dior scent, named after Catherine Dior, Christian’s sister and a French Resistance fighter during World War II. Portman’s femininity, confidence, love, energy and free-spiritedness have been hallmarks of the fragrance and its ad campaigns over the last 10 years. We talked with Portman about new beginnings, returning to nature and how her relationship with scent and beauty has evolved over the years. What are you looking forward to after a tough year? “I think we spent so much time virtually living that I’d love us all to get off our devices and appreciate the beauty of the real world around us.” What do you do to reconnect with nature? “I love going on walks in the mountains or on the beach. Working in Australia has been such a blessing because there is such insanely beautiful and diverse nature here.” How do you help protect nature in your own life? “Nature is such a blessing to our lives and, unfortunately, under such threat from the way we live. My decision to not eat animal products is part of my commitment to living in a way that’s consistent with my desire to be part of helping nature.” What was your first impression of the new Eau de Parfum? “It’s so fresh and floral. It’s light at first, and then becomes more exuberant. It feels like a little cocoon smell.” What message does the scent convey? “It conveys happiness and confidence, and PLEASE BE SURE TO DO THE FOLLOWING: NAME/PRONOUNS/AGE/TIMEZONE: Clara, she/her, 26, gmt-5.
