That comedy required some serious technical precision!

Tis is a deconstruction of certain choreography by a former dancer. Makes you appreciate all the details!

I have two grand daughters in ballet, and they dance in the Nutcracker every year. I’ve seen it 4 times, and each year they play a different part. When they’re strong enough to go on point, a world of ballet opportunities will await them.

Okay, well before my time…but this is a find. Playhouse 90 on CBS in 1958 did one of their first telecasts in color with an older version of the Balanchine choreography. With narration…
