Dear

dear - pick whatever question you’d most like to answer!

oh yay thank you!!! i pick.....cutie - what’s your favourite fairytale?

my favourite fairytale is either: 

the twelve dancing princesses (i had the jane ray book and it is GORGEOUS) 

coppèlia (i KNOW that’s a ballet but i love it so much) 

the fire bird (i THINK that’s what it’s called? it’s a ballet again but it’s so good - it’s about an evil sorcerer who has a garden that he’s trapped a princess in, as well as a phoenix, and one day a young man finds his way in and falls in love with the princess and ends up freeing the phoenix and killing the sorcerer its VERY good) 

beauty and the beast (duh) 

the one where this girl has 12 brothers who are turned into swans so she has to make nettle clothes for all of them without speaking a word until she’s done but then she’s forced to marry a prince and his adivsor (?) gets jealous so he frames her for witchcraft and she keeps making them right until she’s about to be executed and then her brothers all turn back (apart from one who still has a swan wing bc she ran out of nettles) and it’s really sweet

there’s one where the youngest son of a farmer (?) find a magic horse and then some more stuff happens and a shapeshifting wolf saves him from dying and they go on an adventure and the son gets a beautiful wife and a magic gold bird and the wolf is just There i guess and then the son gets to one up his brothers who were mean to him!!! i love that one!!!

i love fairytales

I'm going to use you as my "doesn't know about dance" testing subject because I guess I have no idea what the general public knows about ballet.

So, do you know the plots, or even just heard the name, of the following ballets:

Giselle

La Sylphide

Coppèlia

-⚜️

I’ve heard of all three

But it you ask me what any of them are about

I have no damn clue 😭
