Great Intuviel! And all the Lucifer Petipa variations always end with a hundred turns across the stage in one direction and a finish with a flourish, or a run off the stage.

I think miss piggy would be a good fun ballet teacher.

Maggie, that's perfect! That is, if the variation ever finishes. Can you imagine doing the Don Q dream Kitri variation for all eternity!? <P>Here's another: Satan Lifar. And a Mr. B~~only the B doesn't stand for Balanchine or Bournonville, if you know what I mean... <P>------------------<BR>~Intuviel~<BR><A HREF="http://www.freetown.com/Uptown/HaightAshbury/1055/ballet.html" TARGET=_blank>Balletica</A><BR>

Or Henry A.(th)Tudor's headless ballerinas.<BR>(ouch!)

hi angelica, nice to hear from you again! <P>maggie: i don't get it (sorry!) - is it about henry the 8th?

Grace, it was a bit of a stretch. Anthony Tudor, King Henry the eighth

Just found THIS thread!<P>Dame Margaret Scott.<P>If you've ever done her class you'll know what I mean (could get in hot water for this one, Intuviel!).

Michael! you ARE in trouble! please see MY 'letter to the editor' in the issue of dance australia which will be out THIS week (that's the letter from my REAL name!).

i am closing this thread so that intuviel may start another, which i hope is more succesful along the humourous lines she intended(!), when she returns from her european summer holiday!
