Léo Delibes’ gorgeous, playful music poured through the studio as the company members danced through the waltz, the mazurka, and the engagement scene. So much excellent dancing! We’ve praised the company’s dancers in earlier articles but we were unprepared for how much the current Coppélia has changed for the better since 2016. Choreographer Ramón Oller has set new, more challenging material on the dancers.
