Talk:32 fouettés en tournant

I give up!
I give up on trying to site a book source - it keeps coming out wrong. Could someone do it for me?

For the two "citation needed" paragraphs, heres the credit -


 * author - Roland John Wiley
 * book - The Life and Ballets of Lev Ivanov
 * publisher - Oxford University press
 * year - 1997
 * ISBN - 0-19-816567-6
 * City - New York

 * just in case - for the first paragraph, pp. 165, and for the second paragraph, pp.164


 * Use the templates you see in other articles if you don't feel confident doing it on your own. Just copy and paste the information. 130.49.148.51

Merger proposal
I get it that this is a historically special combination, but unless anyone can dig up an article on "the thirty-two-fouetté" in depth, I think this should be a note under 'Fouetté" on the Turn page: something like

"...Particular significance is attached to the successful completion of thirty-two consecutive fouettés, a feat first achieved by Mariinsky prima ballerina assoluta Pierina Legnani in 1893 and since incorporated into many 20th-century ballets."

Compare to the "Four-minute mile" page, which is justified by dozens of news articles and an entire BBC miniseries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FourViolas (talk • contribs) 05:11, 16 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Agree. I filtered out what I believe to be unnecessary/irrelevant info and think the remaining content could be easily (and sensibly) merged into Fouetté. Lambtron (talk) 16:55, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

FourViolas, I added your suggested text (with mods) to Fouetté and consummated the merge as it doesn't seem controversial. Lambtron (talk) 16:15, 21 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Lambtron! Nice to meet a senior Dance WikiProjector. I'm currently working on the Somatics article; do you have suggestions for a useful next project? FourViolas (talk) 23:54, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
