I have just joined this forum, though I have been reading some of the posts for a while now.

I am a former dancer with several European and Canadian dance companies and after retirement I continued working in the performaing arts as a teacher, choreographer, producer and arts administrator.

I live in Toronto, Canada, with my wife (also a former dancer) and daughter and our retired Greyhound, our current passion.

We attend some dance performances, though after more than 40 years in the dance "business" we have become somewhat selective in what we will go and see.

I am looking forward to being part of this forum and occasionally sharing some opinions, insights or memories.

Regards.

Prior employment in the field is not necessary to becoming increasingly selective, but longevity probably is.

I hope you will!  Our Canadian delegation is pretty lively, and I'm confident you'll fit right in.

I don't know if you're aware of BalletTalk for Dancers.  Our sister board has a forum especially for teachers, which might interest you.  The two boards are divided roughly depending on which side of the footlights its members inhabit.

I'm happy to welcome you to the audience board, JCP, and look forward to hearing from you.
