It's funny because our dear Heather herself (who is in the third segment) started ballet late--at the ripe ol' age of 12. The girl wanted to be an actress. But when she went to acting class, the coach called her "clumsy". She said she was remarkably unathletic. "I was the weakest thing you've ever seen. My legs were like toothpicks". But she eventually became of the brightest stars ever to come out of the New York City Ballet. She hung up those tights and toe shoes, but... she is still involved in ballet. In fact, she's won awards for her contributions to ballet itself as someone who helps put it all together...

Balanchine was so dang good.

These dancers work like a hand and glove, perfect complement. Also love the choreography that gives us a visual representation of the ideas portrayed in the original composition. So easy to pick out the different temperaments; excellent work!
