Thank you for letting me know about The Winger.
Does any one know where the picture of Maria actually is in Central Park?
Is it the official on line paper of the SAB?
How did Kristin Sloan, a corp dancer, get the job of "contributor" to The Winger? Is she also the editor?
How good of a dancer is she?
Thanks again for the info.

For the moment, for ABT's SL and the story line.
How is Martins' (NYCB) choreography as a modern ballet? Does it flow?
Is it creative? Are there jumps for Bouder? What about the corps?
Are there lots of dances for the corps de ballet? Is it creative? Does it
flow with the music?
Thanks for your thoughts.
NYSusan,
Your comments are great about NYCB and ABT. My next question is "If I forget about the Petipa SL, and the story line, and see NYCB SL as a 21st century ballet by Martins, is the dancing and the choreography worth seeing?
What is the difference between the NYCB and the ABT versions of
Swan Lake? Is the NYCB version worth seeing in January, 2006, which they are doing at State Theatre in NY?
What was/is the typical height of female and male dancers
who are principals or soloists for the NYCB and ABT?
Were the dancers much taller in the days of Ballanchine?
Do any principal dancers of ABT or NYCB participate on BalletTalk
using alias? I would love to be able to see how they answer some
of the questions and topics that are on this board. I am not asking you
to reveal your names but just to know who you might be and how you
answer some of the topics.
Carbro, Yes, I just watched the video tape "Dancing for Mr. B". It thought it was really interesting. I am also reading Allegra Kent's autobiography, which is also very interesting. Where can I find video's of Allegra Kent?
How do you compare Ms. Kent with Ms. Kistler?
Are they equal or is one better than the other?
Would Ms. Kent now with ABT have been able to dance with NYCB and/or would Ms. Kistler now with NYCB have been able to dance with ABT?
