That is very cool. Do you have pointe shoes?
Of course! It's difficult to do at this age, but I'll take a pointe class on occasion.
Fonteyn had an amazing career. Have you read her books?
I still haven't gotten around to it, but now that I'm retired I should!
She wrote an autobiography which you might enjoy.
I'll definitely look into that. Her Swan Lake with Nureyev is my favorite of her performances!
Swan Lake is a great play. Is that what you saw her in?
I saw her in Romeo and Juliet! It was in London way back in the 60s.
It is great how that inspired you. Did you go with family?
Yes, my father used to work as a diplomat, so we traveled often during those years.
Traveling abroad as a child can really give you a head start.
