[@adelasussman3838]

This is wonderful! I lived in NYC from '73 -'79 and became an ardent fan of NYC Ballet and of course Mr. Balanchine! I wish that I could have known him. Maybe in another life!!

[@Marcel_Audubon]

you can see here why everyone loves Nina Ananiashvili

[@brendaannedufaur6244]

This documentary mentions Balanchine's memoirs. He had no memoirs. So what is that referring to? Incredible documentary. Thank you SO SO much. I love seeing the father, sister, and brothers. Wow.

[@theresa42213]

One of thee most fascinating men l've ever looked into! His whole family was a blockbuster! xD

[@detsmi1274]

What a sensational, griping documentary! I just couldn't take my eyes off the screen. No show off, no word too much, all thoughtfully told and said and shown with purpose and meaning. This is proper TV about the greatest ballet master ever!

[@emilycorwith1119]

Special beyond words ...

[@DianaMoon11428]

Very eye-opening - shows a side of Balanchine (Balanchivadze) that most Americans don't know. Great job!

[@deborahhigginbotham7276]

Thank you for this. So many never-seen-before photos and definitely a great tribute to a great man. This brought tears to my eyes.

A wonderful documentary of Balanchine

[@raisatabrizi-desmond2509]

I always wanted to know about Balanchine and this film filled that gap of unknowns!

[@littlerainbow8440]

Thank you Mr.B. We love you.❤🩰

A great Georgian and a great choreographer

[@brendaannedufaur6244]

The film footage is incredible. Look at the young Melissa Hayden whirling and striking poses with wild abandon. It is so so true that earlier era Balanchine dancers and performances had something later dancers and performances didn't have. All the later dancers were wonderful too but something is missing in the overall thing. The clips are incredible. Astounding footage! Where did they get all that footage? Like getting off the plane in Georgia. Those beautiful Russia women dancers playing around. This documentary is a great gift. THANK YOU so so much.

[@nanukakiknadze9890]

Thank you so very much. I am very happy to read your opinions. I want to tell you, that those beautiful dancers are all Georgian ballet dancers, they are not from Russia

[@lornabelkin5918]

Thank you for this extraordinary film. I have learned so much and am truly grateful.

[@susanpaul4752]

Absolutely magnificent. A phenomenal achievement of Dance History, NYCB history and Mr. B's personal and professional history. Toatally marvelous, never seen before interviews, and on and on.

George was a cad with a roving eye!

Balanchine, the Woody Allen of Ballet

[@1psoas9]

The images are lovely, many unfamiliar -- but where is the sound? If you could dub the original into English, many of us would be VERY grateful. Thank you for posting.

[@minesk]

The video has nothing to do with the commentary.

[@nanukakiknadze9890]

So, do you like it?

[@voraciousreader3341]

I cannot listen to the narrator, for obvious reasons.

[@v.britton4445]

These dancers don't look like Russians

[@susannevollmer2347]

The most of them are americans, Balanchine wished to creat american dance art, a very new one! Ananiashvili is georgian of course.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

Jacques D'Amboise is full of himself.
