Overture

Before we get into the main act, we need a bit of an introduction.  As stated in the subtitle, this is a blog on the history of ballet, the various goings-on in some of the major American companies, the tools that make the craft possible, terminology, and examinations of technique. 


The subjects addressed in this blog are things I feel any dancer would like to know, and many things they should know, about their craft.  Some posts will be drawn from my own experience as a dancer, while others will come from professionals and other accredited sources.  All terminology will be in the proper French first, then their more common names, if applicable.  Technique will be drawn mostly from a modified Cecchetti method, as that is the style I was trained in.


Thank you for visiting this site, and let the show begin!
