Thanks to Dave from Dave Tries Ballet for giving us this next question: What is your dream role?

We’d be happy to hear non-dancers ring in here too–just tell us a role you’d like to dance if you were able to…..no harm in dreaming a bit, right?

We’d love to hear what your dream role is….please share your thoughts with us here!

Catherine’s answer: Has been posted

Henrik’s answer: Is up on Tights and Tiaras

If you have a question you’d like us to put out there, leave it here in the comments section below. We want this to be a forum where all types of questions are discussed regarding dance, so if you have something in mind, please feel free to share it with us here and we will consider featuring it on the site as one of the main discussions.

We’re hoping to generate a good list, so pass the word! And thanks for reading!

This week we’d like to get back to the questions and have you ring in with your answer…we’ll be posting ours and alerting you below when the answer goes up, as usual.

This week the question is for dancers… What was your greatest experience on stage?

Most dancers have a moment where everything just comes together. Where you feel at one with the music, the audience, the choreography, etc. We’d love to hear about yours. It’s different for everyone, so please feel free to share whatever comes to mind when you hear that question…

If you aren’t a dancer, we’d love to hear what the greatest thing you have ever seen on stage is in terms of dance. It would be neat to hear the perspective from the other side of the stage as well!

Catherine’s response: Is live on 4dancers.

Henrik’s response: posted on Tights and Tiaras

David’s response: Coming soon

One night, while dancing in Giselle, one of, if not the most famous classical ballet of them all, I was thinking that these stories we are performing again and again are not only quite good – you might not know them. If you haven’t seen the ballet, I doubt you know the story of how Giselle was betrayed by her lover and ended up with the mean Willies. So I got this idea: In a new set of posts, I’ll tell you some nighttime-stories: The plots of the most famous ballets, Tights and Tiaras-style.

Nikola Márová and Michael Stipa in Giselle

So, check out the column “Bedtime Stories” every once in a while! That’s where you would want to check back for new plots of the ballets, told in a way you understand (I know, all that pantomime is so1896).

And have a look at David and Catherine’s sites as well when you’re at it – lots of good resources, stories, tips, pictures, the shit! Have fun!

Ta-ta :)

From time to time on this blog, David, Henrik or I will be posting a reference to something we did on one of our sites. This week I’d like to highlight a post I authored on Great Dance Blogs.

I have to admit I’ve found some others since then, but this is a good start if you are looking to read well-written pieces on dance.

Since this blog is all about community–I’d love it if you would share some of your own favorites here so that people can check them out. (And by all means–self-promote!)

Time for our next question. This time, we would love to hear you opinion on the barre practice – how important is it? A preparation for any movement, or remains of an old system?

Join in the discussion in the comment fields below, and check in when we post our answers as usual on our respectable sites.

Thanks to everyone for your support!
