An escape from college reality with a breath of romanticism and passion.

On Campus: Wednesday through Saturday, head up to the Lenfest Center […]

I’m notorious for […]

Well actually, we can’t, but Columbia Ballet Collaborative can. Their new video, featuring Kaitlyn Gilliland and James Lasky, is amazing and should be watched. Choreographer Gus Reed has outdone himself. Unfortunately, CBC’s performances for this semester have passed, but they will be having another show in February. In the meantime, they offer free ballet classes every […]
