1. In what year was Danina Petroskova born?

Answer: 1895

As a refresher, this main character was born in Moscow, Russia. She had four brothers, the youngest being twelve years older than she.

She was taken there by her father and two of her brothers in April after her seventh birthday.

3. What was the name of Danina's elderly ballet teacher?

When Danina first met Madame Markova, she was scared of the stern, almost hostile tone in her voice. Madame wore all black, and her hair was all black as well.

4. On what day did Danina fall ill upon the dance floor?

Answer: Christmas

If you remember, Danina fainted while practicing, and Madame Markova immediately went to her. She was very ill with influenza, which in that day was very dangerous.

5. What was the name of the doctor that treated and later fell in love with Danina?

It seemed as though they fell in love soon after their first visit. Nikolai helped her get better by bringing her to his guest house. If you remember, Nikolai was married to Marie, with children.

6. What sickness did Alexei have?

Answer: Hemophilia

Due to his illness, Alexei needed constant doctor care, but when she was not ill, Danina would visit him and keep him company. They were good friends.

7. When Danina fell ill the second time, and had to have surgery in the hospital, what was if from?

Answer: Abortion

She had gone to get an abortion on a Sunday. The "nurse", as she called herself, did the abortion in her dirty, dark house. She was immediately even sicker afterwards. Nikolai found her unconscious in her bed due to the hemorrhaging.

8. To what state did Danina and Nikolai plan to move?

Answer: Vermont

They wanted to start a real life together, not a secret one, but Danina was hesitant about leaving the ballet.

9. What happened to Danina that ended her ballet career?

Answer: A broken ankle

Danina was leaping across the floor at practice when she slipped and broke her ankle. At 22, she was torn that her career had ended like that, after all she'd been through.

Answer: He never came

Danina saw him last in 1917 when she set sail for Vermont for the final time. Nikolai was sent to Siberia and got stuck there. He then remained under house arrest there until July 1918 when he was executed.
