We have updated Nina's illustrated bio; there are now six pages. Also, a complete biography and repertory compiled by M. Smodyrev published in Russian in www.ballet.classical.ru, and translated by A. Korisch is good reading.

Viewer Feedback - we have posted selected comments from viewers; too many to publish all. If we do not select yours, take comfort in the fact that we would have published everyone's, if we could.

For Japanese fans of Nina: A Japanese translation of this website is under construction at www.friendsofnina.org.

To augment the government support, The NINA ANANIASHVILI FOUNDATION was established in September 2005. Its aim is to popularize the art of ballet in Georgia, improve social conditions for State Ballet of Georgia’s artists and support development of professional skills for students of the Choreographic School in Tbilisi. (For example, my modest contribution was slated to provide ballet shoes for students in the School.)

FRIENDS OF GEORGIAN BALLET uses donations to support the revitalization of the company. Prominent citizens as well as members of the diplomatic community in Tbilisi have been the founders and early benefactors.

To make a donation to NINA ANANIASHVILI FOUNDATION, send an e-mail to tako rtveliashvili at tako_foundation@yahoo.com. She will be able to provide banking coordinates for wire transfers. For FRIENDS OF GEORGIAN BALLET, send an e-mail to friends@ballet.ge.
