Hi, I'm new!

[Khoretskaya]

Hello everyone, I'm new here. I've been reading the forum quite a lot recently, and keep coming across things I want to reply to, so it seemed only sensible to get an account so I can do so! I live in London and watch the Royal Ballet a lot, and English National Ballet a little, plus the big touring companies as and when. I dance a bit, but have never trained seriously. I'm trying to go to class regularly now and actually try and improve! I'm a little bit of a geek about Bournonville and follow the Royal Danish Ballet quite closely. I appreciate all styles though, and love Balanchine/NYCB and the Bolshoi also. Maria Alexandrova is my role model both in dance (if only!) and in attitude

Welcome to Ballet Alert!, Literally -- we hope you'll post about what you see!

Welcome! And do please post about what you see. London gets so much great ballet.

(i also like a lot of different styles of ballet. Probably more now than when I was younger.)

Hello, like many people on here I am a ballet lover.  I live in Portland OR and rarely do we get world-class performances here.  I will, however, be in London this summer during July and will, unfortunately, miss out on The Bolshoi but I am hopeful another company will schedule some performances.

Welcome @carl smith-knapp — I think there will be some top school performances at ROH in July, so perhaps you might see some excellent up-and-coming talent...
