Hey there, it's Leggie!

Hey there!

So, my nickname is 'Legwarmer', I generally am on DDN. When I found this site, I was thrilled - this is a place at which people really discuss performances and dancers, not only a fandom.

If anybody's interested, I have danced a couple of years in my childhood but had to stop at the age of 12. First, I wanted to audition for a ballet school at Hamburg, but my parents wouldn't let me. In the end, it was the right decision - I don't really have the ballet body, as it seems. I re-started dancing one and a half years ago, now I am 17. I have huge fun, and I adore ballet to bits.

As to the performances I have seen:

Bolshoi Ballet: The Nutcracker. 30th December 2003.

Marie: Nina Kaptsova

Nutcracker: Yan Godovsky

Drosselmeier: Viktor Alekhin

Ballet Classique de Paris: Swan Lake. December 2005.

Bolshoi Ballet: Giselle. 9th April 2006

Giselle: Svetlana Zakharova

Albrecht: Ruslan Skvortsov

Myrthe: Nataliya Vyskubenko

The Royal Ballet: The Sleeping Beauty. 1st November 2006.

Aurora: Lauren Cuthbertson

Florimund: Federico Bonelli

Carabosse: Genesia Rosato

Lilac Fairy: Alexandra Ansanelli

What else to write? Is anybody interested in my favourite books? - or should I just leave it at this?
