Throughout my life I made a lot of encounters with Swan Lake.

Its the first ballet VCD that I bought
Its the first ballet music that I can remember
Its the first classical ballet that I performed
Its the first ballet that I watched in an overseas theatre
Its the first ballet I thought of staging my girls in
Its the first ballet that I saw the 32 fouette turns
Its the first ballet that I'm going to see the Royal Ballet dancing live in front of my eyes.

Most importantly, its my favourite ballet.

I love Swan Lake. :)
