taxi4ballet Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I decided to look on EBay this morning for a book about Vaganova technique, and much to my surprise when I typed it in the search box EBay responded with a few hits but also with: "Did you mean 'Casanova'?" Er - no!!! Has anyone else found funny/odd suggestions like this when searching ballet terms? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaffa Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 My own searches for Vaganova (particularly if there's a typo) often give a message asking if I meant to search for a certain part of a woman's anatomy. Sometimes the search engine doesn't just ask, it assumes, and takes me to stuff I definitely did NOT want to see. This once happened in a public library along with a flashing screen warning that the library computers are for serious work, not for X-rated material... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Did you find what you wanted Taxi ? I have a few Vaganova technique books, but if you're looking for a good 'starting point' the one I'd recommend is Basic Principles of Classical Ballet. You can probably get a 2nd hand copy on amazon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trog Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Once upon a time, the Wikipedia page for a certain former UK PM, displayed this (The Golden Brown link for the song by The Stranglers. Sadly the link had gone.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did, thank you - that's the one I bought - its for DD though, I wouldn't understand a word of it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaffa Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I recall searching for the movie 'Etoiles' (about the Paris Opera Ballet) and being asked if I really wanted a movie about 'toilets.' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
