In a Nutshell

Young ballet artists perform a classic from Petipa, a contemporary work by one of their teachers, and a frolicsome romp at insect-eye level

The Fine Print

Dancers use their bodies to express emotions, unlike opera singers, who use their voices, and Punchin' Jack, who only uses his fists. Get an eyeful of art with this GrouponLive deal to see the Maryland Youth Ballet perform its spring concert 2013 at Montgomery College’s Robert E. Parilla Performing Arts Center. For $24, you get two general-admission tickets (up to a $49 value, including all fees). Choose from the following dates and times:

  • Saturday, March 23, at 1 p.m.
  • Saturday, March 23, at 5 p.m.
  • Sunday, March 24, at 1 p.m.

Doors open one hour before each performance.

The young women and men of the Maryland Youth Ballet celebrate the long history and promising future of their art form in this season’s iteration of the annual spring concert. The event immediately grabs hold of the audience with a captivating rendition of the classic “Kingdom of the Shades,” one of the most revered excerpts from Petipa’s La Bayadere. Clad in ghostly white tutus, the ensemble slowly descends a ramp as if visiting from heaven, performing precise arabesques every three steps. This archetypical example of abstract ballet is both serene and unsettling, and visualizes the opium dream of a warrior whose true love has just succumbed to a senseless death. Maryland Youth Ballet continues the themes of abstract bodily expression and spellbinding grace through its performance of Empyrean Skies, a recently premiered contemporary work by staff member Christopher Doyle. Finally, Coronation of the Dragonfly Queen ends the performance on a more playful note as the dancers play insects twirling away from a giant rampaging flip-flop.

The Groupon Guide to: Short-Story Topics

The hardest part of writing a short story is what to do with all the millions of dollars it will earn you, but the second hardest part is coming up with an idea for one. Here is a free list of ideas for short stories that we would be thrilled if anyone used:

  • While her husband is at work, a sad woman looks at a photograph of her sister on the beach.
  • Men come to blows over whose father was more distant.
  • It’s like a sheep or a mouse or something but it talks like a human would and has an iPhone. You don’t have to try very hard on this one.
  • A lady and a man are on a plane on their way to go hunting in Africa. They are married but they do NOT like each other.
  • A thinly veiled story from your life that follows no plot structure because that’s probably what you’re gonna write anyway.
  • What if horses rode humans around for work and sport? What then, huh?

What are some good ideas for short stories? Find out in today’s Groupon Guide.
