Freda . 2 years ago 9/10..Some were obvious,some very lucky guesses Sherry Ware 2 years ago 8/10 All but one or two were pure guesses. Interesting. I learned a lot. James Shedd 2 years ago 5/10, pretty much lucky guesses. As I’ve previously stated I do not know much about ballet. Gail Berry 2 years ago 6/10 Carol 2 years ago Got 8 out of 10!

Chris C 2 years ago 7/10 Mostly guesses Lyn B 2 years ago 8/10 I always wanted to be a ballerina ???? Barb 2 years ago 7/10 guesses on most Kate 2 years ago 8/10. All guesses except for one. George Giovanni 2 years ago 3/10, as expected! ROBERT 2 years ago Is the penultimate word of question #2 supposed to be pointed? Not that it would have made any difference in my 6 of 10 effort. Many guesses, but I should have had 2 others correct, but hit the wrong choice before thinking them through. Daniel P Miccolis 2 years ago welp..got all of 2 right. Not into Ballet. Although as a senior in high school. One of my cousins called me and said her boyfriend was sick and would I take her to a ballet in Chicago. So I took her to see “The Nutcracker”. I think it was in 1961. It was pretty good I have to admit. Oh yeah, her boy friend is now her husband for around 50 years. Ann 2 years ago 6 out of 10 and I don’t know dink about ballet. Lucky guesses~ Liam 2 years ago Well, three out of ten ain’t bad for someone who admits to not being a ballet coinesuere (sp?) Ron 2 years ago 4 out of 10 and almost all were guesses.

Ohio Bill 2 years ago 9/10 didn’t know I knew so much about ballet Karen 2 years ago 10 out of 10 and I don’t even know ballet! How did that happen? Husband was a history teacher and I took french maybe, maybe that helped. Lilly 2 years ago 5 out of 10 slymet 2 years ago 6 out of 10. Asking how many fouette turns in the Nutcracker is a ridiculous question. Who cares? I don’t even know what a fouette is. I guessed wrong but no shame. It’s not common knowledge I bet with a ballerina either. wpDiscuz300Would love your thoughts, please comment.x()x| ReplyInsert Login Login Join Renew Member Benefits Newsline Member Benefits Advocacy Our Actions About Advocacy Issues Get Involved Weekly Update Annual Report Find Your Representative AMAC App Better for America Podcast Book Club AMAC Blog FAQ About Us Overview Our Team Our Stance on Key Issues Magazine Medicare Games Voice Your Opinion in AMAC Polls AMAC in the Media AMAC Action AMAC Foundation Social Security Guarantee Prime Directives Brief Prime Directives Details Sweepstakes Contact Advertise with AMAC Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy
