Excellent company. The two dancers who perform Romeo and Juliet are superb. All in tenderness and ensuring an excellent technique. He is a fabulous partner.

Thank you, this was such a pleasure to watch. The presenters were engaging and fun and the dancers are just exquisite both in their dancing and in their acting. I'm really quite surprised this does not have more views. Thank you again for sharing this with us 🥰

What a joy to see Garth Welch, Marilyn Jones and Marilyn Rowe in this interview. They were such wonderful dancers and I'm sure have many great stories to tell of the early days of the Australian Ballet. We are fortunate to still have them with us. Thanks.

This company is still recovering from years of mediocrity and neglect from its longest ever serving director. During that unfortunate period that director avoided any kind of confrontation with the dancers or anyone really. The outcome were SOLOIST ladies that couldn’t hop en pointe in the fairy variation solos of a classic by which all the great classical are measured The Sleeping Beauty. That director answer to that problem was resolved BY CHANGING THE CHOREOGRAPHY!!!! the word disgrace comes to mind.His legacy MEDIOCRITY. The school is also to blame.

So David McCallister was a bad choreographer? What do u mean?

[@oliverdownunder9397]

@@coppelia8641 I mean that the Petipa choreography sets a standard by which Classical Ballet Companies are measured. The fact that the dancers of the Australian ballet could not do the choreography as it was created by Petipa is a very bad Indictment as to the state of the company technically. Then to not take that dancer out of that variation and replace them with a technically capable dancer who can do the Petipa choreography but just change Petipa’s steps is an embarrassment. I watched the Australian Ballet scrape through Landers Ballet ‘Etudes’ for their 50 Anniversary gala by the skin of their teeth. It was a live simulcast and frankly nail biting. My point is his stance at trying to keeping everyone happy resulted in mediocrity. Over a decade of it!
