Привет. (preevyet) and hello from Texas
« on: February 06, 2011, 10:48:38 PM »
Hello everyone :) My name is Angelina and I'm from Russia, but moved to New york when I was 10. I was a ballerina and danced professionally until I had my son, Adam, in 2005 and changed my life plans a bit. I was thrilled to have my son (even though I was doing it alone) and I moved to Chicago where my parents lived and lived there for a year, then packed up again and now Austin Texas where I work as a paralegal and have lived for over four years :)
Two years ago a family friend from Russia, who was living outside of London, came for a visit and brought his friend, a native Brit, because he'd never seen the southern part of the US. To make a long story short I fell in love with my fiance, David, we did long distance dating and he asked me to marry him three weeks ago.
And so that brings me to the present :) I'm very nervous about moving to the UK but also excited!

Hi!
Where in the UK are you moving? Which company did you dance with (I have a few ballet friends in New York...)? Welcome to UK-Y!

Welcome to UK-Y.  I am also a former professional ballerina!  I was in NY in 2000 and 2001 at Joffrey so our paths may have crossed.  It's a small world in the ballet community!  :D

Are you looking to move to London?  Best wishes and congratulations on your engagement.

My fiance is originally from Belfast, but now he lives in Manchest but he isn't sure if he wants to stay there or not. I like Manchester a lot but he's thinking of trying to move farther south or back to Belfast
And I danced in the New Chamber Ballet for a year (give or take) and it was brilliant :)
