Welcome to Blue Diamond Dance, a different point of view from other ballet
and dance websites. In short, we're dedicated to
the absolute fact that adult beginners can become phenomenal dancers.
If this is your first time here, bookmark us: It's a pretty big site!
If you're a first-time visitor, check out our frequently asked questions. If you want just the latest updates, here they are.
Over the years, many great online resources for older dancers have bitten the dust as webmasters burn out from working hard with no support from site visitors. Blue Diamond Dance will be the next to fold in December 2005. Thanks to all who have contributed and subscribed over the years; unfortunately, there hasn't been enough interest in the form of financial support to keep us going.
I've lately had to field a number of e-mails from people who would like to take over my website and keep it from going offline. Thanks to all, but I am not interested. I am completely burned out and am not interested in tranferring this website over to someone else -- though you all are welcome to create your own websites with your own original content, as I have done. Please: I am no longer able to answer e-mails or requests. But thank you for your concern.
As of October 9, 2005, we have shut down our online store. No further products are available. Because of my billing cycle with my ISP, Blue Diamond Dance will go offline on December 15, 2005 -- so please make your final visit before that time.
And now, here's the disclaimer: Everything on this site is written from my own experience and experimentation through many years of ballet study and performance. I am not a doctor, health professional, or therapist. So proceed at your own risk, and use your own common sense when implementing any of the information suggested here.
