Newish to Ballet Appreciation

[BalletOutsider]

I'm very new to my love of ballet.  I was very ill in Spring of last year and trying to keep my mind occupied, and started watching various ballets on-line.
My favorite ballet so far is Manon.  I find I'm partial to classical style, but there are some more modern type choreography that appeals to me as well.  
I enjoy many dancers' skill and expression, so I don't think I'm focused on any one dancer as a "fan."  I do follow Kathryn Morgan's videos, and have incorporated some of her tips to help me with physical issues even though I am, have never been, nor will ever be a dancer.  Not at my age!  LOL

Happy Holidays to all the readers and Admins and thanks for making this resource available and informative.

You might want to check here as well -- BA ran a little conversation about the 1969 video of Frederick Ashton's Cinderella, and there's quite a bit of good information in the thread
