Guest suephu Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I'm new here and found some interesting information from former posts. I am writing an article for my daughter's studio newsletter on Ms. Legnani. Some information I've found is of course regarding her talent, her historical contribution to the art of dance, her influence on the Russian community of dance, but I ran across some information regarding her off-stage personality. She seems to have embodied the personality that we are TRYING to instill in the girls these days -- no more divas Does anyone have a reference for her off-stage personality? Any sort of "community" involvement, such as it could be in the early 1900's? Thanks for any input you may have for me. SuePhu Link to comment
