As far as I know, for those who can afford it, some SAB students go to the Professional Children's School, which is very nearby and which is geared toward the education of performing children. It has a number of noted alumni. https://www.pcs-nyc.org/ "Professional Children's School provides a challenging academic education for young people in grades 6-12 pursuing extraordinary goals. Current students include ballet & modern dancers, actors, athletes, singers and models."

Just in addition, this film of the first act of Nutcracker, shot with an audience in 1967, is a little bit better quality than some of them, and I have ascertained that Drosselmeyer was indeed Anton Dolin here; he would have known Miss Page from as far back as 1925 or so, when she spent a short time with the Ballets Russes. Some of the sound is missing from the snow scene but it is otherwise ok. http://www.chicagofilmarchives.org/collections/index.php/Detail/Object/Show/object_id/8767

Of interest also in this collection, which is now all on line - Segments from Ruth Page's Merry Widow featuring Alicia Markova and Oleg Briansky, shot by Ann Barzel, a dance critic, in the early or mid 1950s. This is the production in which Nureyev later danced with them. http://www.chicagofilmarchives.org/collections/index.php/Detail/Object/Show/object_id/7339[/media]

Onegin's first-act solo
victoriapage replied to alison's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Do you mean Lensky's solo? must confess to only seeing this once, however. -
I doubt it, I think that falls under the category of things people think they know.
-
there are those that think they are firsts, however, and though there have not been enough, i'll point one out from the fairly recent past, Debra Austin, a soloist at the New York City Ballet in the 70s, seen here in 1988 dancing la sylphide with the pennsylvania ballet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6RHgi6Sc98

I don't know if this would suit, but if you are speaking of misconceptions, how about those who think pointe shoes are made of wood? I've also heard someone ask a working professional dancer, "But what do you do for a living?"

She was an extraordinary woman who took barre long into her 80s. When the attacks she refers to happened, she absolutely refused to be discouraged. I was a student in the school she owned. The film of her in Dance Macabre shows her dancing with Adolph Bolm, and she danced for both Pavlova and Diaghilev. She really was an inspiration!
