This is the absolut true story, an intellectual "Pas de deux" over european
borderlines via internet.
The old "kraut" and the ballerina from vienna (Hi, Mr. Hemingway, hallo!)
Me, 49, long times in business, now private retired, thought about something to do for
a better feeling
May be, a secret dream since his early days was to go ballet, to try, but there was
the business, my
company, no time and lots of no courage.
One day, he surfed around in the web, found the site of milwaukeeballet, where older
people
told their stories. He found a lovely made homepage from a girl in Vienna, this site
was not similar
than the other pages, he has seen before, a bavarian flag, diddl, this site was more
friendly and warm created.
The girl was going to ballet and his sense said, she is a dancer, ballet-lover.
He wrote a letter to her: and what happenend
A very long letter was coming back, very nice and warm understanding words said:
Go, Claus, do it !
She gave him her hand.
It was a absolutely great feeling to hear this from a young and very nice and charming
girl, a Ballerina.
All the ideas and fantasies in his mind: you are to old, you are to heavy, no sports, all
the fears, were blowing away.
The old men (me) took the phone, called for lessons and find lots of applause to start
in this age.
He met the leader of a school (she is from New Jersey), looked around, now he is
trying to make the homepage for the school,
informed the german TV, the Newspapers and used all connections he had for
support, made pics from the audition for the Homepage, goes into messageboards to
ask for people 30+, 40+, 50+, collecting, who wanna start, absolutely free and with
success,
because she is an creative artist, a dancer, not a merchandiser or distributer.
There are lots of other feedback from older people. A man from Switzerland wrote
too, 29 years, 202 cm
and Claus said like the Ballerina from Vienna wrote: Go, Yves, go ! He is now going
since 3 weeks and he loves it.
A man with a Harley Davidson and Ballet, great !! Other people were writing,
Hongkong, California,
and from here in germany, older people too.
This nice and wonderful women from Vienna - Daniela - "a Tutu and a scalpell" (she
don`t know, what happenend here after her letter- but now she will- with a copy of
this) gave a few warm words and spend time to wrote me a letter, and some people
has changed the minds, and more will do change it, for feeling good, catching the
dreams.
You know the principle of chaos?: a butterfly is swinging the wing and otherwhere a
thunderstorm is running later.
Therefore she is very deep in my heart, she is my butterfly !
This is a true story - its real life - and next week I am going to start, slowly. Oooops !
Perhaps as a musician you know the words and poetry of Leonard Cohen: "Like a bird on a wire"
And now, it is your story for your messageboard, if you want.
