>Dear Basheva and everyone who likes her as I do... I just want to thank you for this little interesting discussion, and again - thanks again for your helpfulness, Basheva. It is as if you weren't alone in this ballet world if there's wonderful Basheva-angel in the background.>I also have a question to you, Basheva: What pointe shoes did you like best throughout your career? And what do you think about Capezio's Odette's? I have once tried Capezio's, but they seemed a little strange to me, as I was used to Bloch's, Freed's and Gamba's. >And another question: I answered again at my 'Ode to Basheva' message on Ballet for all-again with a question to you. Maybe you can find it and answer it... As I would be so interested in reading some of your prose!!!!!>Kisses from Bettina Anna[/i]
