Here's a gallery of Kokyat's images from our visit to Tom Gold's rehearsal on October 16, 2010. The dancers were preparing for a trip to Tel Aviv to perform Balanchine, Tharp and Gold. Above, Maria Kowroski.

Packing up after the rehearsal. Maria told me she'd never been to Tel Aviv before and she's really looking forward to the experience. What a treat for the Israelis to have these dancers headed their way.

Green with envy! Maria Kowroski is my favorite dancer. She looks so cute in that last photo.

What a cool experience for these dancers! It must've been fun to see some of the corps dancers in featured roles we don't normally see. Ah...to be a young dancer touring the world!!

Yes, it was really great to watch them all at close range. And yes, I am envious of their youth, talent and adventures.
