[edit] Ballet WikiProject

Welcome to the Ballet WikiProject, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Ballet.

(For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects).

Goals
  • Improve Wikipedia's coverage of ballet related articles
  • Create comprehensive lists and articles for ballets
  • Create comprehensive lists and articles for ballet and pointe shoes
  • Improve and maintain articles on ballet dancers
  • Create a larger repository of ballet images which are both aesthetically and technically sound!
Scope
  • Articles pertaining to the art of ballet, ballet dancers and choreographers, ballets, pointe, costume designers for ballets, composers, and anything else that is related to the dance form.

[edit] Guidelines

  • Please always remember to cite your sources (look here for collective resources) and, if working on a biography of a living person, adhere to those guidelines.
  • When referring to the French name for a term, please check your spelling (hopefully Glossary of ballet is correct) and put it in italics.
  • Add appropriate categories (see below)
  • Add the {{WikiProject Ballet}} template to the top of ballet-related article talk pages
  • If you are able to take photographs, you may want to watchlist the Image requests page

  1. Editor at Large (talk • contribs) Interested mostly in the technical and history sides of ballet. Dancer for fifteen years, teacher for eight, member of a small company
  2. Keitei (talk • contribs) Ballet, ballet, ballet. Dancing for thirteen years, enjoy the technique and precision of classical ballet. Also pointe.
  3. Emmegan (talk • contribs) Dance student aspiring to be a professional dancer in ballet and modern dance. Dancer for twelve years, and avid dance historian.
  4. Ghirlandajo (talk • contribs) started articles about Russian ballet personalities: Maya Plisetskaya, Galina Ulanova, Marina Semenova, Mathilde Kschessinska, Agrippina Vaganova, Sulamith Messerer, etc.
  5. mrlopez2681 (talk • contribs) Hello - I am a former dancer who finds more joy in being a ballet historian than an actual dancer. I am currently working on the preliminary research to one day write a book on the composers Riccardo Drigo, Minkus, and Cesare Pugni, who are long over-due their long-deserved credit (Drigo and Pugni the most). I have written articles on Marius Petipa, the Sergeyev Collection, Ondine (ballet) (will add more later), Leon Minkus, Cesare Pugni, La Fille Mal Gardee, Le Corsaire, completely re-wrote La Bayadere and Swan Lake. I would like to re-write the artciles on La Esmeralda and The Sleeping Beauty Ballet. I have added alot of historic photos from my rather large collection of 19th century photos from the Imperial Ballet. I would really like to re-write the artcile on Riccardo Drigo, but I have to complete the research first.
  6. Slhogan94 (talk • contribs) I like clean, well-organized categories and articles. I'm happy to help to help with clean up, starting with the main Ballet article. Let's get it up to Good Article status!! I'm a ballet fan and my son is a serious ballet student.
