I’m already receiving quite a few emails from SF Ballet fans about last night’s “Don Quixote.” The disappointment is that Lorena Feijoo and Joan Boada won’t be dancing the leads in this run–for reasons which I reveal in the first paragraph of my review set to appear in tomorrow’s Chronicle. Unsurprisingly, the Cubans have developed a passionate following here. Check out the paper tomorrow to see what I thought of the replacement first cast.

And please, keep the emails to me coming–but if you have time, please CC the folks at the Chronicle, too. It lets them know that you care about dance and value reading about it in the paper, and it’s important that the management know that during these difficult times for newspapers. Whether you wholeheartedly agree with me or think I’ve lost my head, let the paper know you’re reading.
