I went on to the website you so kindly provided and it's all in 'double-dutch' and, unfortunately, I don't speak or understand Dutch. Please translate it for this ignoramus (into English) as I MUST HAVE the DVD. Everytthing I've seen is so beautiful.

Lopatkina is a wonderful artist, so dedicated. On the DVD you can see an interview with her where she talks beautifully about her feelings for the ballet she has just danced.
