I can't thInk of another board to ask this besides Veeky Forums

Pleb though it may sound, I enjoy Mozart, Handel, Taneyev, and Mendelssohn

I can't offer much insight but I highly recommend Gayane. The Sabre Dance, a movement in the final act, is particularly great, but the whole show is wonderful.

Ballet's role was getting men to attend opera and watch beautiful women strut their stuff. It's a win win for me, I get to appreciate art and watch qts twirl.
Same goes for figure skating.

Start with Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn. Read the libretto before watching of course. Don't cheap out on some shitty standing tickets in 3rd balcony. Videos are great, but being in theater is a much more powerful experience.

I can't imagine that every troupe out there is good. How are ones from big cities - I'm close to NYC, so that one seems the most natural.

There are better and worse ones - google before going. Googling is a must anyways, because every once in a while you get some pomo interpretation and instead of a magical tale you suddenly find yourself watching people dressed in latex and gas masks performing amid rusty scaffolding. This happens more often in opera and theatre, but even ballet is not safe nowadays.

Get a qt gf who is also a ballet dancer

>tfw I was once friends with an underclassmen qt polish ballet dancer with the best body I've ever seen
>She took classes a grade above her because she was also smart
>Talked to/did classwork with me because she was also something of a bitch and hated everyone else in class
>Had a bf, to my eternal frustration
>Once managed to sneak upskirt pics and get away scottfree,but I lost the memory card before I could upload them

None of this is relevant, however,

>Pleb though it may sound, I enjoy Mozart, Handel, Taneyev, and Mendelssohn

Mozart is 2nd GOAT after Bach, so there's no shame in that.

For Mendelssohn, there's Balanchine's version of Midsummer Night's Dream, see:

There's some dance numbers in Mozart Operas, but they are not very ballet-like. Some ballet productions use his music even if it wasn't intended for dancing but it's kind of hard to find good video recordings.

I don't know who Taneyev is. For Händel, there's some good stuff on youtube, like this:

There's also historically accurate productions of his dances, so if you're into wigs and beautiful garments you should check them out.

Finally, you should check out my favorite:
