I remember as a child so wanting to be a ballerina. Needless to say, that never happened. But still love to watch and enjoy the music, grace and Interpretive choreography. Thanks for this remembrance of Mr B.

Correction: Balanchine never studied in Soviet Russia. He studied at the Imperial Russian School (Maryinsky) and left before the Soviets truly came to power.

Thanks for sharing this.

He didn’t learn ballet from Soviets. He was student and dancer during Imperial Russia
