I love the ballet. It's the Scottish Ballet Company that perform mostly up here and when I worked for 12 years in His Majesty's Theatre I was fortunate to get free tickets for most of their productions.

My daughter shares my love and i bought tickets for us both to see Hansel and Gretel for her Christmas last year, though I have often gone to see performances on my own. I prefer traditional ballet to contemporary, though I adore Bourne's production of Sleeping Beauty. I have only seen it in tv and would very much like to see it live.

I'll get back to Doric later :-) ... But just quickly to say: Tamara Rojo (big heroine of mine) is guest editing the Today Prog on R4 this morning. Lots of dance related items I hope.

Cinderella at Sadlers Wells last night. Final week of this run which is a new production. It was glorious - as I expected - and we felt lucky to see Ashley Shaw in the lead role (I was so impressed with her last year in The Red Shoes.)

Am daily blogging still but have gone completey private for a while. Not sure why I'm just funny like that! I'll probably 'publish' all the missing entries some time soon. Not that they're particularly interesting - usual mix of training, art, dancing, diet, dog and daftness.

Had a chance to attend a rehearsal for the Pina Baush company - we've seen them twice and they're absolutely brilliant ( the Wim Wenders film is very good too).

However I dithered because it was the same night as an Indoor meet I was also considering and by the time I made my mind up that I'd rather go to the rehearsal all the places were taken.

That'll learn me!

Well I'm glad you're ok (I thought it was probably something like that) - but I do miss your training blogs!
