The basic comprehensive links collection

(Note:  As anyone who's tried to work through a links list has undoubtedly learned, links expire, change, and are generally uncooperative faster than can be monitored. It is not possible for links listers to check every link every week to see if it still leads somewhere. These sites may have expired links, especially for home pages and the smaller companies.)

Cyberdance   A very comprehensive and easy to use site.  A list of everything from ballet companies to home pages.

Dance Links The first collection of dance links, hence its title. This is a very comprehensive list.

Ballet companies Newer, quite comprehensive site based in Europe.

Special sites, online magazines, sites with content devoted to ballet:

The Ballerina Gallery Jorgen Wilhelmsson's collection of photographs and biographical information on virtually every ballerina who ever put on shoes.

Ballet.Co. A really truly online magazine with news, interviews, features, postings. Mostly, though not exclusively, about dance in the U.K

Culturekiosque Another online magazine, this one from Paris, in three languages (French, German, English). Calendar of events in  Europe, reviews, many of Paris Opera Ballet, and interviews.

DanceArt   An almost dizzying number of activities are offered here, mostly aimed, it seems, at dancers and teachers..  There seem to be about a dozen message boards, each aimed at a specific type (under 13s, men who dance); a chat room; downloadable art; advice columns; links to links, and more "activities" than we've had time to try.

Dance Magazine An online supplement to the magazine we all know and love. There are reviews here that aren't in the print version, and their calendar is The Source. (The links selection is good, too.)

The Dance Pages of Estelle Souche   A very rich and personal site. It's the kind of site you work through slowly; the treasures are hidden beneath a list of topics. There's history here, and a photo gallery, information on companies and dancers--"you choose," as Ms. Souche puts it.

Dance Writing. Essays by choreographer (Dance as Ever) and Ballet Talker Leigh Witchel.

For Ballet Lovers Only A site devoted to the Kirov and Bolshoi ballets, with original photography and commentary by Marc Haegeman.

The George Balanchine Foundation. Information about Balanchine's choreography, the Balanchine Archive project, other Foundation projects.

Londondance .  News, features, interviews, performance info about dance in London.

Russian Classical Ballet Articles, reviews, photographs. More than I thought I'd be able to find about Russian ballet written in English.

Sned's SAB Workshop Update Page

Tom Parson's Dance Pages These pages contain, among other things, the FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) for alt.arts.ballet. Good basic information on dance history, technique, etcetera.  While you're there, be sure to read "Confessions of a Ballet Junkie."
