I sent a letter to Louise Nadeau and she wrote back a beautiful long hand-written letter.

Nowadays, some dancers have their own websites where you can ask them questions, and they answer. The three sites I've visited that have this feature are Diana Vishneva, Johan Kobborg, and Sylvie Guillem. Kobborg has a great sense of humor and makes sure to answer every single comment people post, as does Diana Vishneva.

Can you send an email does the letter have to be a hard copy via us postal service?

For NYCB or ABT?

Thanks.

Thanks for posting this, Dale. I had missed it.

Maria was fantastic in In Vento!! she is back!

Direct link to the photo.

It's a really fun (and interesting) blog.

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.

Mwah! The Winger recently posted a picture of the Maria poster (with a bit of glare, but that's OK) along with a very nice sentiment about her anticipated return.

What is The Winger? If it is on the web, can you post the site please?

Thank you.

Is there a video of Martins' NYCB version of Swan Lake, or of Mr. B's version?

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?

NYCB is doing Swan Lake in January 2006 in NYC. Which version is better between NYCB and ABT?

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?

How do the Bolshoi Principal Ballerinas compare to those

of the NYCB and ABT?

What are some of the other NYCB stars doing? What about

Allegra Kent and Melisa Hayden?

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.

Sounds like you've seen the video, "Dancing for Mr. B". 

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 does Allegra Kent compare to other NYCB dancers like

Patty McBride, Suzanne Farrell, Melissa Hayden or even Darcy Kistler?

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?

Do you know of any DVDs of either Syvie Guillem or

Sofianne Sylve for USA use?

Thank you.

What ever happened to Sylvia Guillem?

How does she compare with Sofianne Sylve?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Are there any videos or DVDs of Sylvia Guillem or Sofianne Sylve ballets?

What ever happened to Sylvie Guillem?

How does she compare with Sofiane Sylve?

How would you compare michelle wiles with ashley bouder and with gillian murphy?

I would like to know your opinions.

thank you

What about Ashley Bouder or Gillian Murphy? I bet either one could have

a children's (or adult) clothing line and do well.

What do you all think?
