Washington Ballet


I love the ballet. I love the Washington Ballet. When I was younger, my mom used to take me to see the Nutcracker every year at the Warner Theater in DC.

Naturally, I was ecstatic when New Yorker's Photo Booth Blog presented these beautiful photos of Washington Ballet dancers.

“When I used to read fairy tales,” thought Alice, “I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one.” Substitute ballet for fairy tales, and she could have been describing “Wonderland,” a collaboration between the photographer Cade MartinDesign Army, and the Washington Ballet. This fanciful series, which was created to celebrate the Ballet’s tenth anniversary, shows ballerinas who have leaped off the stage and into the streets, parks, and hidden enclaves of Washington, D.C."
