Is it Christmas yet? Because I’m ready for my presents. If you’re looking to get me something, I’ve made it way easy for you! Feel free to get me…
- Born To Be Wild: The Men of the American Ballet Theater, DVD. Featuring Angel Corella, Vladimir Malakhov, Jose Manuel Carreno and Ethan Stiefel. I don’t care what the style of
dance is—I just love watching men dance. I love the power, the height, the majesty. If more American men knew how much their dancing turns women on, I bet teenage boys would flood dance schools. - A class card to one of my dance schools. A gift that keeps on giving.
- The Art of the Turnaround, book by Michael M. Kaiser.
I don’t normally read non-fiction but this perked my interest, especially in this bad economy. The arts seem to always be the first one axed during budget cutbacks and it will be interesting to read about how some companies weather this storm. - Original Compositions for Ballet Class, Vol. 3, CD by Roberto Pace. One night as I was waiting for hip hop class to start, I heard beautiful music coming out of one of the other studios. After some research, I found out that it was this CD.
- A subscription to Dance Magazine. It’s pricier than Pointe or Dance Spirit, but it’s my favorite one because it covers a range of ages, both professional and amateur dancing, and a whole range of dance styles.
- Tickets to American Ballet Theater’s performance of Swan Lake at the Kennedy Center, Feb. 17-22, 2009. I’ve always wanted to see this ballet ever since I was a little girl.
- And finally, tickets to the Broadway production of Billy Elliot. I am dying to see this show!!! Tickets are available but they’re at $156 apiece! Fortunately, it’s looking from the reviews like it’ll be on Broadway for a really, really long time.
Okay, that’s my dance Xmas wish list. Do you have something in your list in common with mine? Or something totally different? I’ve passed on wishing for clothes and shoes since I’m so picky about those things, but I’ll pretty much take any book, DVD or tickets!
