Their beautiful friendship immortalized the most beautiful dancing the world has ever seen.

-Margot Fonteyn

What CHEMISTRY! Ah, I could melt! I love your inspirational photos you post. You always seem to know just what I am in the mood for.
I'd love to see you do more posts on your own dancing; maybe more insight to your particular style.
