hi! past month the biarritz ballet came to my country. they play the nutcracker and i like it very very much. i really like one of their dancers (i don't know his name and i'm sorry for it), dancing as Droselmeyer, he has a wonderful leg-line and his arabesques are so beautiful. In Droselmeyer he had a great appearance. the spectacule was so magic, and so original too, i really enjoyed it so much. i want to know if someone has seen that nutcracker to change opinions. love: Lu

hi again! well, i think that what ralph has said is what i want to say all this time... and i hope that you understand him better than me... bye!!!

good!!! i found out that here i can't explain myself.. so if you can't understand what i want to tell i have nothing more to say to you... i try to difference between what i understand for techniche and sensibility, but! i couldn't... i suppose that finally this is only a taste question... bye!

hi! victoria: i think her feet wasn't the best because in points her feet didn't have the beatiful line that we use in ballet... glebb: i've see the video of fonteyn nureyev swan lake... Helena: logically, i think techniche is extensions, fouettes, leaps... the taste or the line, is which i've named "sensibility" and this is which i like of fonteyn... atm: i think this is the problem!! fonteyn hadn't fire!! fonteyn is artificial and i don´t like that in a dancer, in a dancer i admire that he could make the people shake when they saw him, that he express in the outside the fire she has in the inside, that she express her sensations, her feelings... And she should have espectacular and immaculated movements, things that fonteyn doesn´t have... obviously this is also for men... thanks for your attention and i hope i could finally express myself... bye!

oh! i've forgotten a thing! in my town, "oviedo" (is on the north of spain), there is no way to study ballet...and to solve this, we created an asociation "asociación de amigos de la danza y las artes escénicas".in this asociation are united almost all of the academies; but we don't get anything because the council don't help us! we do actuations once a year, and some courses not very often... i have an idea for show dance to the people.. i want to dance in the streets!! and do some courses for people who not know the ballet! but the people of the asiciation don't like this ideas very much... time will decide!! bye!

sorry! i want say "have" no "hace" in the other post

hi! first i have to say that i not understand very much things that you had say! i'm sorry for it!! well, i think that things have changed very much in ballet with the time... but i also think that although we can't judge an ancient dancer with ours standars we can opine of them, don't we? i've heard very much times about the "bad feet" of fonteyn... i don't mean that she is a bad dancer! but her techniche is very normal... her sensibility isn't normal! she was a pretty artist!!and i like she as a dancer.i dislike her techniche, because i dislike the techniche of others artist from others eras...(not all!!!crearly!) (i hace a problem! i can't express well which i think!!! hahaha, sorry!!) bye!

hi pamela!! i'm happy for talk with someone who knows the situation!!! i hope spain will be better in dance soon!!! we have some interesting people and, i think!, very much wishes!!! bye!!

hi!! than you for your answer... i understand you about nacho duato's company because i dislike some works of nacho too, but i like the most... the victor ullate's company is also a good company in spain but i think it is worse than the "compañia nacional de danza".i agree with you, his coreographies aren't very good... i think the situation of the ballet in spain is because here other fomrs of dance are more popular (flamenco and modern dance as you said), but it is also because in spain there are other entertaiments, here "culture" are not very loved... it is more important football... there are exceptions, but is the most... a fez time ago there was a survey here, in it we can see that most spanish people don't read often, don't go to the theatre, and obviusly they don't know ballet dance!! i suppose that this happen in other many countries too, but i'm dissapointed with it... what do you think about it? bye!!

yes! you' ve be very fortunate!! i know that this videos are in the "end" of fonteyn career but i was talking only about the couple fonteyn-nureyev... i didn't talk of fonteyn career when she was young because i hadn't see her then...it's a piti...i hope that i can see her someday... bye!

hi!!! altough maybe anyone of you know anything about which i'm going to tell, i want to moan about it! i'm from spain, and in my country "ballet" is totally discriminated.to study dance in spain you must go to Madrid, and in other provinces you colud't become a real dancer. other thing! spain is not knowed in the dance world!! but here we have some good companies!! this is obviusly because dance is not knowed here, and this way it isn't possible that spain dance are knowed in others countries! someone know the "compañia nacional de danza" of Nacho Duato? this is not a classical company, but is an important company!! and here they are not understanded... well!! thanks fot your attention! now, i feel better! i only hope that situation of dance in spain will improve!! bye!

hi!!! well, i've been whatching a video about the very famous couple Fonteyn-Nureyev. i have to tell that in this coupple something is wrong. i thing Fonteyn had a great sensibility for dance, but her tecniche was not so good!well, i explain myself.people know that she hadn't got good feet, but i find so many others fails... and i think that her seinsibility didn't remplace this fails.i'm not saying she was a bad dancer!!!but she wasn't so great... i think!! about nureyev i think he was better dancer than fonteyn, and maybe he look more brilliant with other partner... sorry if i've disturb someone!! bye
