I remember as a child so wanting to be a ballerina. Needless to say, that never happened. But still love to watch and enjoy the music, grace and Interpretive choreography. Thanks for this remembrance of Mr B.

Correction: Balanchine never studied in Soviet Russia. He studied at the Imperial Russian School (Maryinsky) and left before the Soviets truly came to power.

[@Grunyaprotazova]

He didn’t learn ballet from Soviets. He was student and dancer during Imperial Russia

EXACTLY, he fled from them!!!
