tutufans | Hello + a question

Hello Hello! A new member is here! I think I've lurked around this community long enough, it's about time to join me thinks. So let me introduce myself, I'm Millie // Tweety, a fairytale nerd and I've been into Princess Tutu for a while now. My favourite character being Fakir! Closely followed by Ahiru.

Anywhoo I have a question for you guys, well not so much as a question but a small favour ~ for school I have to make a presentation for my class on anything at all and I have chosen to talk about ballet. Now I won't be talking about ballet dancing but more of the stories expressed through ballet and also about the music. I'm really passionate about this and I want to do well but I haven't exactly gotten very far. What I'm asking is if you could perhaps post any information about ballet stories, their origins, symbolism, influences, trivia etc. It could be about a specific ballet or the stories in general but anything would be a great help.

Also as a last thing, does anybody have a diagram of some sorts for ballet mimes and their meanings? As I said anything would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your time for reading this, sorry if it's too long ^w^

EDIT = Oops forgot to mention this :'D My focus in this presentation is ballet and it's association with fairytales.
