Steven Woodgate is now in week two of teaching Houston Ballet Artistic Director Stanton Welch’s MADAME BUTTERFLY to Ballet West.  Formerly an accomplished dancer with the Australian Ballet, Steven Woodgate is now a wonderful Ballet Master and Choreologist with Houston Ballet. I couldn’t resist posting some pix.

“Madame Butterfly” promises to be dramatic, lush, soaring and a feast for the eyes.  Don’t miss it!
