From the St. Petersburg Times, Russia:<P><B>BOLSHOI DRAMA THEATER BALLET PROMISES INTIMACY</B><P><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>While she is a graduate of St. Petersburg's famous Vaganova Ballet Academy, ballerina Alla Sigalova has never been known for dancing the classics. Rather, she prefers to choreograph pieces herself, which she performs both for dance companies and drama theaters. Sigalova's future plans include production of a ballet focusing on the first wave of Russian emigration, set to tangos, waltzes and fox-trots of the period, but for the moment she will be dancing in "Sketches of the Sunset" which premieres on Feb. 5 and 6 at the Bolshoi Drama Theater.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P><BR><A HREF="http://www.sptimes.ru/current/features/a_1856.htm" TARGET=_blank><B>MORE...</B></A><P>
