la Performance "Back to Black" Poster

On Sunday the 28th of March, the dance troupe la performance will present their latest show, the modern ballet "Back to Black" The premier of show begins at 2:30 pm PDT/SLT and will be held at the troupe's venue on the Skin City SIM. They are planning seven performance, each to be held at the same time (2:30 pm PDT/SLT), same location on Sundays. The last show is scheduled for the 9th of May. I spoke briefly to la performance's choreographer Jie Loon a few days before the premier as the troupe was rehearsing for their performance.

"We are all a bit nervous now and today we do half show the show … on Saturday we will do the first complete run through". She said.

"I am sure you and the troupe will rise to the occasion and out perform the audiences expectations." I commented.

"It will be a challenge … but its cool. I'm sure all will do their best … we got a very nice crew now and I am happy with them … many are learning and some dances are difficult to do, we will see. We all hope that audience will like it of course."

"I will see you on Sunday ... good luck with rehearsals." I said and thanked her for taking time away from the rehearsal to chat.

"Oh thanks dear Nazz … a better wish is break a leg." She replied.

"Oops ... you're right." I said and then retyped the chat line, "I will see you on Sunday ... break a leg."
