The Rite of Spring

An avant-garde masterpiece, Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring opens with a calm woodwind meditation before it builds to a thrashing fever pitch of dissonance and chromatic coloration. Its sharp rejection of the Romantic tradition caused riots when it premiered in Paris in 1913. Similarly controversial was its content: during a prehistoric ritual, a maiden dances herself to death as a form of religious sacrifice.

The Joffrey Ballet

Hailed as America's company of firsts, the world-renowned Joffrey Ballet has been blazing an artistic trail through media stereotypes since 1956 to redefine the global view of ballet. Through its maiden voyages as the first dance company to perform at the White House and on American television, appear on the cover of Time, and commission a rock 'n' roll ballet, the Joffrey's artistically dynamic works have inspired a broad audience and a major motion picture. Its troupe of classically trained, world-class dancers oozes grace as they execute a diverse repertoire of classical masterpieces and cutting-edge performances. The company's annual Nutcracker performances have garnered global acclaim, and the performance attracts a wide audience in Chicago and around the world during national and international tours.

The Joffrey Ballet also bolsters the Windy City's arts education and dance training through the Joffrey Academy of Dance and community-engagement programs. The Chicago Philharmonic serves as the Joffrey’s official orchestra, bringing its diverse and innovative musical talent to the company's performances.

The Groupon Guide to: Great Dates

Planning a date night is the most difficult part of beginning a relationship filled with mutual respect, lifetime companionship, and maybe even children, if one of you can get a couple days off from work every week to raise them. Earn the affection of your sweet honey with one of these popular date ideas:

  • Walk in the park
  • Walk in the park (angry, silent version)
  • Dinner and a movie and another small snack just because of blood-sugar reasons
  • A long, strenuous hike that tests your commitment to keeping each other alive
  • Holding each other close while huddled under a friend's porch waiting to jump out and surprise them
  • Couples massage and then couples getting dressed again without looking at each other
  • Whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears during a play and gradually getting louder until your relationship is the real play
  • Trying to kiss on an airplane (impossible because of low air pressure, but it makes a funny noise)

This kettle corn is making my blood feel much better.
