Cheyenne’s tells weird French story to male dancers to try to tell them in a very roundabout way that they are not right to be her dance partner in a performance of Bound To.
Lou de Laâge is so good as Cheyenne. She couldn’t speak English before she was cast. Learned that from the PaleyFest video.

“Are you watching Étoile again?”
Ian, while not answering verbally does look sheepish while being lit by the pastel colours of the Étoile opening credits.
The La Bayadere ballet production set reportedly on loan from Ukraine to Paris is shown in Etoile Season 1 Episode 4 beginning at the 43:34 minute mark. It is beautiful. 💙🇺🇦💛

Touching to learn that the set for the La Bayadere ballet dance in the TV show Etoile belongs to Ukraine. During the war, Ukraine shipped it to Tokyo to protect it from destruction. According to this article in IndieWire, Etoile Production Designer Bill Groom found it in Tokyo, rented it, and had it shipped to Paris for the show. I hope Ukrainians are able to see their beautiful set on TV, and that it returns safely home to them very soon. 💙🇺🇦💛🩰🤍

!["Early on I thought, 'Well, if I can use existing ballet productions [sets] that would make sense just from a production and practical point of view," said Groom. "La Bayadere' was the first one that I was trying to figure out how to solve that problem, and I just sat down one day on the computer and typed in 'La Bayadere production for rent' and something popped up. It was in Tokyo, so we negotiated to rent that production, all of the backdrops, the side wings, and have it flown to Paris. It turns out it was a production from the Ukraine that had been sent to a ballet company in Tokyo for safekeeping during the war. It felt like an honor to be able to use that production."](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/114/433/103/587/372/478/original/b6f2ea298ef10400.png)

So I was wrong when I said I was done pimping #Etoile
I should learn to stop making promises like that.
AS I was saying recently, when I like something I REALLY like it. Étoile is firmly in the set of things I really like ☺️ https://mastodon.social/@ianRobinson/114420443641909058

My constant praising of Étoile is now over. Until I decide to watch S1 again, of course.
I have to say, I might agree with Amy Sherman-Palladino when she says that dropping shows like this, one or two episodes per week is better.
Staged release gives more time for word of mouth to build. Dropping them all at once means some people can binge them and it's over in a weekend.
I’ve watched Étoile twice now (how was your weekend?)
It’s fantastic work. A workplace drama that happens to be set across 2 dance companies. It’s not a ballet documentary.
It seems the recent management changes at Amazon MGM Studios mean the original two-season order isn’t sacrosanct. #Etoile
There’s a section of Cheyenne’s solo dance in the Spark’s performance in the Étoile finale that’s in a few Kate Bush dance routines I’ve seen.
Not a criticism.
Apparently the two season initial order for Étoile doesn’t guarantee that the second season will be produced. After management changes at Amazon or MGM Studios.
So, I’m gonna need you all to watch season one so the numbers go up. Ta 😊
