Just a fast note to say that I was in Portland over the weekend, watching Oregon Ballet Theater, and saw Batkhurel Bold in Christopher Stowell's Eyes on You, which is a mostly charming romp set to music by Cole Porter. He was very technically adept, as always, but the treat was in seeing how animated his performance was. I saw several smiles, lots of flirting and some very convincing shimmying.

I didn't see his performance in Portland, but I too have been very pleased to see more expression from him to go with his extraordinary technical ability. Overall, I feel very lucky to see him anytime (especially lately dancing with Carla).

P.S sandik, how can I read the review you mentioned you were doing on the Festival?
