Good morning, I'm not at all sure where to put this, I hope you can find a spot for it.

This is the first of five lines of a mysterious code written on the back cover of a Rubaiyat. The man who owned it was found dead on a beach near Adelaide on December 1st 1948 and remains unidentified to this day.
It was remarked at the autopsy that the man had extremely well-developed calves and thighs, similar to what you might expect of a ballet dancer. Conjecture has it that he was visiting Adelaide to see his two year-old son, Robin Thomson (dec'd), who grew to be a well-known Australian dancer. The connection between the two was a phone number, also written on the back cover.
The reason I'm here is to test a theory: the five lines of code were written as an aide-memoire for for an up-coming event, or as a means of remembering the various movements in ballet.
For instance. Line 1.
Waltz – Relevé – Grand pas – Ouvert – Avant – Balancé – Allongé – Brise – Degage
The next line of code reads:
WTBIMPANETP.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
