Pat lives in Orange County and is looking for pas de deux partners (under 100 lbs - smart move, Pat!).<P>This sweet site has to be seen to be believed. <P>It really is quite touching, in reminding the somewhat jaded among us, of how much people can love ballet and want to immerse themselves in it.<BR> <A HREF="http://www.spector.org/pats_ballet_site/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.spector.org/pats_ballet_site/</A> <P>at first i liked the music, but it can get a bit annoying, especially when you're trying to read...i don't enjoy reading in time with the music when it's allegro prestissimo!<P>for example, in Reviews, Pat has written a description of a talk by Darci Kistler (2 years ago, but still interesting)...wherein she relates a great story about an unnamed French ballerina coming offstage and saying to Mr. B. that it was a wonderful experience (dancing his work), to which he is supposed to have responded 'YOU're not supposed to have a wonderful experience! I am'...(too true, isn't it dancers?)<P>i DO wonder WHY, though, on his "Who is Pat?" page, Pat recommends a visit to Dr. Feldman after viewing this site...do you acquire a dance injury by just looking on?<P>I hope the mums and dads appreciate his class and recital photos: some are quite dear, although not always having hit QUITE the right pose, yet - boy, i used to HATE those photos of me! <P>make sure you don't miss the message board, at <A HREF="http://www.spector.org/ballet_chat/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.spector.org/ballet_chat/</A> <P>more power to you, Pat!<P><BR><p>[This message has been edited by grace (edited April 12, 2000).]

p.s. you can get really psychedelic with your mouse pointer, on the special page of Pat's Dance Chat for Viewers under 18 (i KNOW i'm not under 18 - i was just CURIOUS, OK?!)

Interesting guy.<P>I find the "Ask Dr Feldman" section really eductional. As far as I know it's the only website that features medical advice to ballet dancers.<P>
