Ballet.co 2005 End of the Year Poll

It's the end of the year and time to reflect on whats been great for us all in dance and ballet...

Record your vote and thoughts at:
2005 Voting Form

See the results building up on:
Ballet.co 2005 Poll Entries Page

Use this thread to discuss the poll itself but NOT to record entries - you need to use the voting form for that.

We will declare a winner - for the best entry, whatever that may be. I'll think of a suitable prize in the meantime.

Over to you folks... GO VOTE
(you know it makes sense)

Only a week?! Aaaggh, have only just got back to work and haven't even had time to go through and see what I actually *saw* last year yet.

So, we're literally going from Jan 1st to Dec 31st?

Edit: A thought for next year occurs to me: since many people on this site are so keen on encouraging new work, perhaps we should have a specific category for best new choreography, as well as new production (which could of course be a rehash of R&J, Giselle, etc. ...)? Otherwise, I can see any new work being swamped under votes for Sleeping Beauties and the like ...

BTW, am I the only one who has great difficulty in differentiating between "Best Production" and "Best Staging"?

I'm finding that confusing too - please advise. Also, the Most Promising category - is this for really new dancers or can we nominate existing, well-known, dancers who are nevertheless overdue for promotion to principal?

People should do what they think is right and appropriate in categories. That's what everybody else has done.

Jane Simpson has once again acted as Returning Officer and counted all the votes and tried to make sense of what we all said:

Results of the Ballet.co 2005 End of the Year Poll

Do add any thoughts or comments to this thread.

And thank you for voting folks....

   I hope you do not mind, but I have posted a question on the Kirov's failure to win on the Kirov Forum.
