To introduce myself, I should say that I have been becoming more and more attracted to serious ballet-watching in recent years. What started as something I liked very much -- though not as much as opera -- is fast approaching the "passion" stage. But I'm 77 years old and wonder just how much I can learn. I wish this had happened earlier in life, when I was young enough to take ballet lessons and therefore be able to empathize with the dancers, in addition to being blown away by them. I'm delighted to have found this site, and look forward to visiting it frequently. Bill Hood
