[@pammiller942]

This is a wonderful song I used to be a ballerina and a tap dancer I still have my ballet shoes and I still have my tap shoes and I'm 69 years old and I'm going to keep them forever❤❤❤

[@luvtheus]

Well, I'm certainly no Ballerina or dancer for that matter, but have always loved this song and the other GREAT one called Walk Away Renee. I'm 68 and remember these songs when they first came out. I lived in Ontario, Calif at the time. Those were some great times. Never give up those Tap shoes Pam!

You rock on Pam Miller ! 💕💝 I knew a Pam M. in high school, I’m the same age. I thought she also was cheerleading AK.

[@THE-HammerMan]

The dancer is so very beautiful, lithe and graceful. Anything less would not do justice to the song. [Fine camera work too!]

[@deem7478]

Beautiful! Glad she used her old pointe shoes on the pavement! Lovely song, lovely dance!

[@davidkreider942]

It seems this song was written for this very gorgeous dancer! This fits her so perfectly!! I’ve always loved this song. Now, I love it even more!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@emilytrott]

Wow! I guess that I've found my go to version of this old favorite. :-) Bravo!

[@wendystewart1867]

Wow

The guy that singing has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard and it's a wonderful video ❤

Steve Martin (no, not that one)

[@lauriemeerlarock5649]

Once upon a time, I was a pretty ballerina too 💞

[@2010blessingsful]

Beautiful!

[@LagrangePoint901]

Bringing a beautiful song to life with a beautiful ballerina. It is one thing to have a great song and when you add a visual aspect to it, it just makes it more memorabvle. Nice job to the pretty ballerina.

[@seanmahoney2755]

Ballerina’s are tougher than most professional football players. It’s a beautiful and brutal art form. True story.

[@scottbreseke716]

I'd like to see this. Football game with football players vs ballerinas.

[@jepomer]

This song has been running through my mind lately. Excellent coordination of the song and the "Pretty Ballerina".

[@60s70sVintageRock]

Awesome video! The synchronization / slo-mo of the dancer's movements with the music is spot on. 👍

So graceful!!!!!

[@wendystewart1867]

That was so mesmerizing

[@jjklulu]

Now that's beautiful!!

[@davidnichol651]

I think this was the B side of "walk away rene". I played it many times as a teen. great melody.

[@pammiller942]

I love this video I was a ballerina one time and I still have my shoes and I still have my tap shoes at 69 years old I guess I'll keep them for somebody that can use them one day great ballerina

[@wiredranchvideo]

You do so many GREAT videos to classic songs. From Mungo Jerry to the Left Banke, you visually nail the feel of the song…

[@pammiller942]

this is a beautiful video and a beautiful song I was a ballerina when I was a small girl and I was a tap dancer also I still have my ballerina shoes and I still have my tap shoes and I've had them for years so if you want to be a pretty ballerina then look at this girl on this video cuz she's got it made❤❤

[@VUclear]

This song is structured like a 12 bar blues. Count it out.

Since the day my memory started I have had an acute appreciation and fondness for women. This is said in the most respectful way.

I won't use english. ¡Que vaina tan bella, hermosa, atractiva y encantadora acabo de ver! Ademas de que es una mis canciones favoritas de todos los tiempos. Realmente ME GUSTA.

When I was a small girl I was a ballerina and a tap dancer

[@pammiller942]

I love this song and I love this video❤

[@danielschear556]

The ballerina in this clip? I've seen her before in a Lifetime movie from 5 or so years ago.

[@dannygraham7885]

( Echo!)

[@markfadness9204]

Where was this filmed? What city? Sometimes it looks familiar, then other times not.

[@mmazz30]

I had the same thought, thinking it might be Melbourne, Australia (my city) @ 40 secs in the video I saw Hout st, googled it (none in Melbourne), South Africa came up and BINGO.....look up 95 Hout St Cape Town......my mystery solved...lol

[@markfadness9204]

@@mmazz30 Thanks for the detective work. Much appreciated.

[@thomasreghi7052]

Don't know if there's ballet at the Opera House of Palermo, Sicily, but a sad/sweet combination which is rarely successful.

[@paulj.ingram2839]

Wilshire Boulevard?

[@VUclear]

Capetown. Did a google search. Closer in appearance to San Francisco, but SF has no Hout Street.

[@barryallen5313]

What is her name?

[@cozyhollow]

Dancer's name is not credited.

[@JOHNBEA]

@@cozyhollowthanks cozy, I was looking all over the internet for an attribution.

[@michaelbowie7410]

I'm guessing this was also filmed "on a dreary Sunday morning"

[@josemadrigal3438]

I got it here's a movie If I Was A Millionaire I'd make a movie this ballerina was poor but she was determined and through the years she would practice and thanks to the teachers that let her get in the room and just watch she knew how to do that at home she got strong and flexible and she got a friend that knew all the ropes and she got guards to protector and she had a secret she was learning to be a nice skater too ( and when she spun around she spun around four times she was very fast as well as she was gorgeous and I would put it with this music ( video pretty ballerina) by ( left banke ) and I hope our superhero this figure skater female years of practice come on the stage and kick ass an American maybe Ukraine American ???? an American sponsor ????? it'd be a hell of a movie oh yes and tell her when she finishes she's about to finish tell her now you put in a circle and make the ice fly that would be her signature that would be my signature beautiful amen and she had a little sister too that was rooting her on come on guys make the movie will you don't forget to put in the song of the Go-Go's Head Over Heels remember Laura Lipinski come on guys make the movie it's an awesome idea

[@freakyold]

Why did the ballerina gracefully cross the road?

[@JustinTrouble-qf8hd]

To get to the other side!

[@howiekarpe4564]

Pretty nice..I've heard many a transfer of this song and many are not very good..I'm starting to think the master wasn't very good..The piano track may have been too rich and overloaded it so it sounded muddy in parts...One of the most special and brilliant songs of the era..It's disappointing that it had major problems with fidelity

[@harvey1954]

How many of you know that this ballerina was named Renee ? Supposedly she dated all the guys in the band except for Michael, the guy who immortalized her in song.

[@pammiller942]

I love this song and when I was little I was a ballerina and a tap dancer I still have my tap shoes and my ballet shoes this is a wonderful song and I every time I watch this video I just think about the times about I was doing the same
