So lovely to see this clip of the Charlotte Ballet celebrating Patricia McBride on the news of her honour ... and to think that she is now 72 years young:

A moving interview with this ballet icon here - who looks/sounds oh, so much younger than her extraordinary 72 year nomination.  What an inspiration she is.  I was so lucky to have caught the end of her 28 year reign at NYC ballet and to see her dance some of those many legendary works she created for Balanchine.

A lovely interview with the legendary PATRICIA McBRIDE ... as interviewed by none other than WYNTON MARSALIS .... Enjoy these six minutes ...

Thanks Bruce. She was a wonderful dancer and is a lovely woman. Her award is more than deserved!
