Ballet: never ending charm

It was all started with this Japanese manga, long long time ago when I was in my first year of elementary school!!

Mari-chan

And then I found this series:

Lorna Hill's Sadlers Wells series

And just yesterday, I was again mesmerized by the charm of ballet through this movie, Mao's last dancer..



Unfortunately, I have never been to a real ballet performance! Anyone to take me? :)
