I attended Ballet Nouveau Colorado's "POP" program on October 2. This program got great reviews, including in The Denver Post (I didn't see it in the "Links" forum - http://www.denverpost.com/ci_13455573?IADI....denverpost.com )

This was another case in which I apparently missed the boat. There wasn't much in the program that interested me. To this uneducated observer, there seemed to be little in the choreography (which was entirely modern dance) that would challenge a professional dancer.

P.S. I started off in a bad mood after having to pay a $3 service charge to buy a ticket at the box office.

I can empathize with your feelings about this, YouOverThere, including the "service fee" for ticket purchase. This has become so standard that I would not be surprised to be charged a "seat fee" or "air-conditioning surcharge."

The title of the program -- "Pop" -- says a great deal.
