Hi, everyone.  I'm Bec.  I've lurked here for quite a long time, and I've finally decided to join.  

My connection to ballet is a bit complicated.  I'm a "ballet brat".  Both of my parents were professional dancers.  My mother danced with the Sydney City Ballet and Ballet Victoria (both in Australia), and my father was a dancer in the Australian National Tour of A Chorus Line.  My mother was also Omaha Ballet's ballet mistress (long before I was born).  They now own a ballet school in Washington state.  

I studied ballet throughout my childhood.  I stopped dancing a few years ago when I was 16.  I can't really explain why, but it just wasn't for me.  However, I love ballet, and I want to be a ballet historian.

Welcome to Ballet Talk, Bec.  What a wonderful ballet background you've had; it is certainly a major part of your life.  I hope you'll enjoy sharing in our discussions; all of us love ballet, as you do.  Much good luck in your desire to be a ballet historian; it sounds like a wonderful career for you.
