Hi,

does anyone know a good website for checking out whats on in the Costa Blanca ballet wise??

I do check the papers when i get time but i have searched online tonight for listings and either there is'nt anything on (likely) or im looking in the wrong place (also likely).

When i say Ballet i mean shows not classes!!!

Here is a very good ballet website which should help this link show a visiting company and their dates.
They are more in the area of which you live.

Hi Amelie

Nice to see you visited HQ when in London. Last time I was there I managed to take a little piccy of a few Opera/Ballet Buffs waiting at the box office for returns. I don't think Ballet will never be for the masses no matter how cheap you make the tickets. Let them stand in the upper slips is what I say
Ohhhh below is a nice Uk based site that will give you all the reviews on the various Bolshoi and Kirov reviews and other company's as well. Modern ballet is not for me so I tend to give those a miss call me old fashioned. Still any form of dance will take you away from the hell it is being a Brit in Spain.....If you believe all you read on this forum. Cava eeeeeeghhhhhhh give me Louis Roederer Cristal everytime. I hate it here
