Hello from Washington, DC

[amckean]

I have been on this site for some time and have loved reading it so very much but have been quiet about posting, in part because life always seems too busy with work, child-rearing, etc. But I have decided this year to start writing more about the ballets I see and so hope to be more active here.

I have also started a new ballet blog this year (http://www.waltzgirl.blogspot.com/). I thought that readers here might enjoy seeing the picture of Kyra Nichols that I was able to post there (courtesy of Kyle Froman). There is also an introduction about me. I am working next on a post about a performance by Ballet West that I saw recenty in Salt Lake City, which I hope to post soon.

Hope to be more in touch on Ballet Alert!

Welcome and thanks for the blog. As a nascent Balanchine scholar I appreciated reading your blog entry.

Welcome, amckean.

Love the photo. So ethereal!

I will look forward to reading your posts here. I hope you won't be shy about engaging in our discussions that may not be about a particular performance.

[amckean]

Thanks so much! Look forward to contributing here.

Hello Ashley, and welcome.

Katherine, your site look amazing--ballet tours, what a fantastic idea!

Thanks Ashley! They are pretty fantastic, I'm getting very excited about heading off to Copenhagen and Hamburg in March.
