dancingostrich Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 What magazine is the best to your oppinion. I really want to get one but i dont know what ones to get. Also do they have a website? Let me know. Thanks! Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 AHEM! If I may make so bold, may I suggest that you are at the website where you can subscribe to two of them. Ballet Alert! and Dance View are both available at the main pages of Ballet Alert! Online! and are excellent, accepting no advertisements, and being paid for by the subscriptions alone, thus assuring the reader of opinions not troubled by financial considerations. As in the old New York Sun, if you read it in Ballet Alert!, it's true! Link to comment
Dolphingirl Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I do not currently read either DanceView or Ballet Alert, but I would imagine they are wonderful, and I hope that I can read them at some point...it's close to Christmas, right? As for other magazines, I like both Pointe and Dance Magazines. In general I like Dance better, which is funny because Pointe is the one I actually get. Pointe sometimes seems a little flimsy, with some of their articles being a little useless, especially their product reviews. I tend to like the articles in Dance much better. Dance also covers forms of dance other than ballet, which is nice. All the magazines mentioned have a website of some sort. You've already found the Ballet Alert, and then Pointe and Dance are pointemagazine.com and dancemagazine.com. Link to comment
Guest Future Star Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 You should get Dance Magazine because it's really cool and has lots of interviews with professional dancers. Or get Pointe magazine because it has lots of fun pictures. Those are my two favorites and I would recommend both of them if you can get our hands on them. Link to comment
Treefrog Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 (edited) Is that a hint, Dolphingirl? I thought *I* had already placed the same hint! (oops, just noticed the forum. Delete if not appropriate.) Edited December 22, 2003 by Treefrog Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Aw what the heck, this is a good subject. Why don't I just move the whole schmier to Books, Magazines, and everybody can comment! B) Me, I like Ballet Review, too, and you can subscribe to many of these magazines via the Amazon.com banner at the top of the page! In case BR isn't one of them, here's the website. http://www.balletreview.com/ Link to comment
dancingostrich Posted December 24, 2003 Author Share Posted December 24, 2003 Does dance magazine have a list of summer intensives in it? Oh yea, thanks for the info! Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Not only does Dance Magazine have a list of SIs, but it's in the current (Jan. 2004) issue. Link to comment
Treefrog Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 Hey, hint and you shall receive! My wonderful daughters arranged subscriptions to Ballet Alert! and Dance View for me for Christmas (though Dolphingirl assures me she did this even before I posted...) A big hug to them, and to you Alexandra for ... well, for everything you do. Thanks! Merry Christmas!! Link to comment
