I could have been a ballerina...

except for a few pesky details like my total lack of coordination, balance and rhythm. But, as with many forms of music, while I can't perform, I can be an enthusiastic audience.  That's my greatest musical skill and tonight I had a chance to practice it again. A friend and I attended "Coppelia" performed by the Fort Wayne Ballet with music provided by the Fort Wayne Philharmonic.  I enjoyed the performance very much and came away dazzled by the skill and artistry demonstrated by the dancers.  They were excellent and the Phil was very, very good as they always are. I enjoyed the fancy footwork and don't understand how someone can leap into the air, legs extended sideways, tap their heels together three times, and land ballanced on one toe.  When I commented on this to my fiend he expressed the opinion that it probably took a 'little practice.' Before tonight I had only ever seen two ballets, "The Nut Cracker" and "Swan Lake".  I'm really happy to add tonight's performance to the list.
