Hello. I am an avid balletomane, being a formerly trained ballet dancer my entire life, and now -- just able to appreciate good talent and enjoy performances. Oh My. I haven't done my homework with keeping up on all the new young, rising artists that have totally knocked me out. I found this site by accident, but am glad I joined.

We're glad you joined, too, janeintucson!  

Plenty here to help you catch up on your homework, and we hope that as you do, you might add any special insights.  

Welcome to BalletTalk!

Welcome Jane, I recognize myself in your introduction - trained, then out-of-touch, then delighted to be back in the loop on a new level.  What a wonderful forum this is. Here's to many happy hours here

Do you get to see Ballet Arizona?  If so, I hope you'll join Helene and a few others who share their impressions of the company (performances, dances, Ib Andersen) with the rest of us.

Hello from Washington, DC.....Welcome to this wonderful site.......I am in similar situation as you....formally trained but for many years out of touch.....much homework to be done to catch up with current ballet world and dancers. Ballet Alert is the perfect venue & professor for us. Glad we  are both New Members. Hope you enjoy this site as much as I am.
