Answer to Fairday's Riddle: Right On Pointe!

Excellent guessing, Riddlers! This week we're dancing out of the box. Tune in on Monday for Lizzy's book review and find out how the answer ties into the story. See you all around the book block. ~ F

Fouetté sauté center stage—pirouette, plié, promenade. Structure in movement, pas with grace. Léotard lines entrelacé. Tchaikovsky feathered sweet Odette. Balanchine spun Apollo's set. Piqué grande! Feast your eyes when dancing spirits do arise. 

What am I referring to? Answer: Ballet!

    I've had many students over the years who've devoured all the dance books they could get!

    Our daughter did ballet for many years. Gave it up when it was time to go en pointe!

    Hi DMS - ballet is a thing we should all be encouraged to do more of ... so good for our bodies and thus strength in later life ... good story to have us all read - cheers Hilary
