Nacho Duato leaving Spain for Russia

Celebrated Choreographer Nacho Duato has abruptly left his post as artistic director for Compañia Nacional de Danza where he has been for 20 years. Amidst rumors about the administration and him having conflict over the rep because Spain does not have a national Ballet company Duato quit and took his entire rep with him. He will now in a historic move be the Director of the Mikhailovsky Theater in Russia starting Jan, 1st 2011. I must say that Duato is one of the main reasons why i got into contemporary dance, 1st seeing his company at the Lincoln Center 10 years ago while i was at Ailey it was a revelation (no pun intended) for me. Best wishes to him on his new path.

"We ended on very bad terms," ... "I offered to stay as artistic adviser so they'd continue doing my work, but they said no. They wanted to change completely."

i might as well stop skating if this is what it comes down to. Prod skating switch stance better than most pros on there bangers.

Landing bolts.

Street League

Now that sports season is over i have nothing else to Jock on until the NBA season starts again. When i say the NBA i mean the LA Lakers. When i say the LA Lakers i mean the "Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant so dont get that shit twisted. Luckily for me pro skater and hustler Rob Dyrdek started the SkateBoarding Street League pro contest with some of the sickest skaters in the game. We got Eric Koston, Prod, Torey Pudwell, Mike Mo, Chris Cole, Billy Marks just to name a few. Here is more information on the league that will also be shown on ESPN.

FUCK YEAH!!!!

heres a video of Torey killing the game on the streets.


ps. Is it weird that i went from dance to skateboarding? Wonder why the blog is called "No Expectations"
