I love
ballet! I confess I didn’t understand it for many years, and only went now and
then when invited because I didn’t want to seem un-cool. But after many years
of “not getting it”, I finally “got it” after an evening with friends who
invited me to see Diana Vishneva in “Giselle” at the American Ballet Theatre
(ABT). Then decided that, living in a small apartment building with some of the
most recognizable members of the New York City Ballet (NYCB), it was pretty
ridiculous to not make the effort to understand what these highly respected
artists –and athletes—did for a living.
