Thanks for posting, a very interesting read. I've always loved dance though I didn't have the opportunity to have lessons as a kid, I also love the pointe shoes in their skin color.

They are beautiful, and a couple of the photographs are just stunning! That last one was just wonderful. Good lord is she ever gorgeous!

If I was a little girl and still dancing, I would love to have some of those as posters on my wall.
