bright future ahead!

He's so handsome

John Clifford and Suzanne Farrell should be an official part of N.Y.C.B. teaching and coaching.

It's wonderful to have Suzanne Farrell. She always speaks so interestingly. She's so genuine.

As a 41 year old who never made it in ballet (started too late and didn’t have enough ankle strength for pointe) I SO wish I could’ve studied at SAB. What a beautiful and transformative environment indeed! Such gorgeous and talented dancers!

Omgosh, you were a *gorgeous* dancer! I saw you dance in DIVERTIMENTO 15 and in BALLO DELLA REGINA, and I'm pretty sure you were a soloist in TCHAIK SUITE 3. Phenomenal. So nice to see this video!

I grew up watching Suzanne perform at NYCB, and I studied at Dance Theatre of Harlem and was taught sometimes there by one of her major partners, Arthur Mitchell! I feel so privileged that I got to see her performing at NYCB w/ Peter Martins. There just can't be (won't be) another like her...that daring, that musicality and risk...if you like this vid, you should watch the documentary "SUZANNE FARRELL: ELUSIVE MUSE"!!

and Suzanne Farrell was essential to the birth and popularity of classical ballet. She is The Queen to Balanchine!

💕💕

I appreciate these 'behind the scenes' documentaries. Very interesting. Thank you for posting.

"Life-changing" I'd say. When Violette Verdy gave me a SAB scholarship in 1972, life was never the same again.

I could watch an entire hour of this 💜

Sumo was a a wonderful dancer. Legendary teacher. She took over where Danilova left off. Watch the Balanchine essays. Nothing g escapes her eyes. Great that the magnificent dancer Jay BBC Mezzo is teaching. If they’re always looking, find a way to get Farrell and Kirkland to teach the advanced students.

So much to impart. Thank you for the memorable moments from your impressive dancing. There were wonderful dancers but I mainly bought tickets when she was in the program so I went a lot. Every time I saw her in ballets like Symphony in C or Concerto Barocco or Tchaikovsky pas or so many others, she lit up the theater. I became more impressed as there were more subtleties I noticed. I was overjoyed when she returned from Bejart.

Love love Debra! She had one of the purest legato lines of all American ballerinas. So musical, such clean phrasing. And just beautiful.

I see that you have many videos on your channel. But your videos are not ranking. The number of viewers on the videos is very low.

But aesha ash teaches at sab and has a big title but Suzanne doesn't have a job there. Or gelsey Kirkland. Or merril Ashley. Doesn't make sense.

So wonderful to see this interview, thank you. She is a living Legend. Love you Suzanne Farrell. Curiously the only time I saw her dance was when she was with Béjart, she had an incredible stage presence.

Still the best mother ginger! 🎉

Love Debra Austin. Amazing dancer!

What a blessing to the students to have the opportunity to learn Debrah Austin❤

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Brillant, she is living Legend.

Thank you for this share. I had never heard of Debra Austin and she seems like such a wonderful person. I'm happy that former alumni are now coming back to SAB to teach and share their gifts. The school will undoubtedly benefit as alumni studied with such legendary faculty and each teacher will undoubtedly bring fresh perspective and inspiration to the next generation.

Congratulations dude for everything. Just making your dreams come true and enjoying your life, just as it’s supposed to be.

Ms. Richard, Megan Fairchild could not be a better role model. Not only is she one of the most talented and inspirational dancers in the world, she is a mother of 3, and somehow managed to get her undergrad degree from Fordham and has recently finished her MBA from NY University!!! WOW. You are very lucky to have her for inspiration and I know how much you must value and appreciate the experience. The spring performance was amazing and Monday Night was truly a memorable experience. Congratulations and hoping you achieve what you set out to accomplish.

love you from brazil

I loved Tumi. Her classes were so challenging. Fond memories ❤

Jenifer Ringer was my favorite principal at NYC Ballet. I attended many of her performances, especially the Mendelssohn Scotch Symphony - I watched amazed as she jumped into the arms of waiting men. She was the essence of feminity and refinement. So glad she will be taking an important role at SAB. Obviously, her personal and leadership qualities were noticed by the administration and recognized.

❤

SAB hands are so over the top now. I don’t remember them ever being so harsh. It totally disrupts the line of the arm.

Victoria is so adorable.

I saw her in the on pointe documentary!

Olivia you worked with me on Nutcracker day ty

Not even a mention of her father who was a star at NYCB

Does anyone know where I can watch On Pointe? Disney took it off Disney+ and I've missed it so 😢

Those bronze shoes are gorgeous and such a good match.

Incredible! I will do all these hacks!

Lovely, Suki! My best to you.

He speaks with great sincerity - he is impressive. I see why he was chosen to be a teacher. I spoke to him once after a presentation. These memories are fascinating!

This school is my dream collage and summer program. i wish to be a professional dancer on Broadway. (:

I am so jealous of these guys wearing colored tights! That is my biggest dream ever!

Extra tights. Great idea. I’ll try that next audition. Congrats

This is so incredible!!!

Huh. Kay Mazzo is now 77 (as I write this). We're all getting old, aren't we? I saw her during her "dancer days" But after she "hung it up", she's still an active part of what Balanchine and Kristen created. She now shares the chair of the School of American Ballet. Huh. Still doing it all... I think all of the original Balanchine ballerinas should be doing something... SOMETHING in that company. If they're too old and injured to be personally hoofing onstage, they should be doing something behind the scenes... "Dance while you can..." --Shirley MacLaine

She is charming! More than a dancer, she is a real personality. No wonder she was taken into the company.

Living legend Kay, SAB is so lucky that she is still actively involved.

i love this series!

The performers seem as enchanted by Balanchine's Nutcracker as the audience children.

So well spoken!
