Sensually seductive flow throughout their performance had me on the edge wanting more. I
hope to see more from these two. My third mention to such a graceful Clara (Hideko
Karasawa). You dance beautifully. I look forward to you in many more productions from the
Ballet of Memphis. The Nutcracker (John Deming). I had to mention you with Clara & rightly

then and there. My fourth mention The Russians (Brandon Ramey, Jared Brunson, James
Vessel) Amazingly tantalizing power jumps sheer power of this group of men.My fifth mention
