Merry Christmas to you all

Another delightful family group! Belated thanks for your Good Wishes, Jamie, Star, Sinbad and Xena - and mine to you all for 2009.

How I miss the ballet, especially at Christmas. For many years, I used to attend our Royal Ballet's performances at The Royal Opera House in London, and their 'Friends Christmas Party' was always something else!

I agree that The Nutcracker is a fine introduction to the world of ballet and, whilst I agree with Rex that Balanchine's works are not to be missed, I would have thought them, on the whole, better to be savoured later - especially by the children. Many of them, whilst exciting to watch, are abstract works of some complexity. In my opinion, ballets that tell a story (perhaps with a little humour added), such as 'La Fille Mal Gardee' or 'Coppelia', or Classics like 'Swan Lake' would be more appropriate as a next stage.

So, with a couple of jetées, an entrechat and a massive tour dans l'air .....

Take care,
Ham.

You all look great! We should talk about getting you guys out with us to see the Smuin Ballet sometime this coming year.

Some how I missed this.

I hope your Christmas was a good one too. All of you look nice.
