[edit]- Claudeconyers (talk · contribs) -- Former ballet dancer and long-time dance historian as well as publisher and editor of reference books, including International Encyclopedia of Dance, 6 vols. (Oxford University Press, 1998). Contributor to numerous reference works on dance and musical theater. Access to extensive home library of reference materials.
- Ghirlandajo (talk · contribs) started articles about Russian ballet personalities: Maya Plisetskaya, Galina Ulanova, Marina Semenova, Mathilde Kschessinska, Agrippina Vaganova, Sulamith Messerer, etc.
- L1A1 FAL (talk · contribs) General interest in ballet and I take classes and dance recreationally. I mainly revert vandalism and do grammar/spelling.
- 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 a lot 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.
- Paul foord (talk · contribs) - mainly dance project
- Robertgreer (talk · contribs). Take class, much like Gioland71, and attend NYCB to excess, likewise City Center's Fall for Dance and the Joyce; also see ballet and contemporary dance two or three times a year in Stockholm and Copenhagen and would help with the Royal Danish and Swedish Ballets if there were ever time!

- Sophoife (talk · contribs) Forty-plus years of ballet watching, first in London, now in Australia. Try to see all casts for each programme as then can make a comprehensive assessment. Learned for 12 years but that's as far as I go.
- PhillUpNorth (talk · contribs) Employee of Northern Ballet, interested in keeping up-to-date lists of dancers, significant works etc. Won't update Northern Ballet entries but may post requests for others to, if that's OK?
