Ballet Jorgen is notorious for its unique, original ballets, and they are leaping into their 20th year with their largest undertaking to date. Anastasia tells the story of the famous Russian Grand Duchess over four years during the Russian Revolution. Complete with an original score composed by Russian-Canadian composer Ivan Barbotin and an award-winning crew on hand, this piece is bound to mesmerize its audiences.

I love the ballet,
remembering past stage frights,
make boyfriend go too.
Leaping through the air,
Up, down, and into my dreams
To watch, so divine
It has been too long
Since I have seen dancers fly,
Serene and graceful
Twinkle, Twinkle Toes.
I love a man in pantyhose.
Dance, motherfucker.
Uwajedi wins
tix to see the Russians prance
and show off their junk.
Went to see Jorgen
In summer at park. It rained.
Love ballet...with roof.
Ha ha ha ha ha
Uwajeda and Rek win
They should go together.
My love does latin
dance schools want ballet technique;
a gift could inspire.
Set the world ablaze
A euphoric spandex romp
Majesty in tights
A hundred-six years
A tough slog it's been for me
I, the grand duchess
send me to see a
treat on points, twirls in the air
and i'll bring a friend
male dancer, an art
springing with strength and beauty
I can see your junk
