Wow. This is a really intriguing idea and a nice set up. I look forward to seeing where you go with this!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, I'm still a little rusty with the writing, but I hope it comes out ok at the end :)

Ooooh, I've seen that all-male version of Swan Lake. I love it! What a neat idea for an AU!

Thanks! I'm happy that you like it! :) When I saw it, I just had to write something!

I love dance AU's. And I love that you're using this pairing for it. I look forward to more.
and umm... for the criticism that you mentioned in the author's note-- I can't really nitpick on anything but possibly you could work on "showing instead of telling."

It's great anyway.:)

I'm glad you liked it! I really like this pairing :D

Thanks for the comment on the writing too, I'm really trying to get better and since English is not my first language I tend to rely on other's opinions to do so.

I'm glad you liked it! I'm working on chapter 2, and looks like the story is going to be long(ish~) :)

From someone who used to dance (though never anywhere near even dreaming of professional levels!), let me just say that the ballet aspects rang true. The pull of the muscles, the need to be better, to be perfect, that sting when you see the upper levels dance (oh man, watching the girls go from wrapping their toes backstage/in the dressing room to practically floating en pointe!), you really nailed it.

I'm happy to hear that, I wasn't all that sure about how realistic it was. Reading about things is not the same as first-hand experience. I'm glad you liked it :)
