I think this is a very good article but you need to put Darcey Bussell's false.By false I mean you should put what she was bad at doing.Ex. Darcey Busell was poorly at pointing her toes. When you look at this or edit it IM me at switchfoot933 or e-mail me at switchfoot933@aim.com

It is possible, I suspect, that 82.20.55.105 is the most BORING human being that has ever lived. Last night, I stated the FACT that Darcey Bussell is incredibly hot. This is an a priori truth, incontrovertible and irrefutable. It is entirely relevant to the main page, being as it states a fact about Darcey Bussell. I was surprised, therefore, to find out that this comment was "reverted" - meaning censored - mere hours after its initial addition.

Have you nothing better to do with your time, 82.20.55.105? To paraphrase Zaphod Beeblebrox, you are so un-hip I'm surprised your bum doesn't fall off. Perhaps if you relaxed for a while, you might find that people start enjoying your company.

I'm going to see how many times modifying this page causes you to re-respond, since I'm quite childish. We'll see who wins.

[edit] Farewell performance

It's stated in the article that 'The Song of The Earth', in her farewell performance, was broadcast live. In point of fact only the last song was live. The BBC obviously baulked at the whole (1 hour) ballet, particularly as Bussell danced in only two of the songs - including the last, which runs half an hour. What they all too obviously did was to record the earlier song she appeared in, plus 'The Song of the Drunkard' (which she didn't appear in, but is short), on a hard disk delay system, playing them out later, timing it so that they could go from the end of 'Drunkard' to the beginning of the final song. (In point of fact they made a right mess of the transitions in both cases, rather giving the game away).

This is probably too detailed a comment to go into the main article, but perhaps an appended note? - or at least a re-wording so as not to imply that the BBC actually transmitted the whole work live ( perish the thought that they might credit their audience with a bit of intelligence).

[edit] Graffiti

Hello,

I removed what looked like graffiti today (12-Sept-2007) from the Biography section - "DREAMS MUST B MADE".

If this was there for a sane purpose, please re-instate.

[edit] Mid vs. High importance

As good a ballerina as Ms. Bussell is (a prized possession is my DVD of her dancing the role of Mitzy in Kenneth Macmillan's Mayerling) there are very few dancers -- if any -- who are of hign importance: Taglioni, Elssler, Nureyev, Barishnikov (Pavlova is legitimately top importance.)

The principal dancers in some companies might well merit low importance aricles (this is NOT to say they are not important to ballet, but articles?)

Those who are more significant have often been so for their later careers; Marie Rambert, Peter Martins and Peter Boal come to mind, and Nikolaj Hübbe will soon join their ranks as ballet master of the Royal Danish.
