Michele Wiles is 5'8" (unless she has grown in the last few years ).

Wall-to-Wall Balanchine. I just wasn't able to make it to New York that weekend. I was happy to hear (selfishly felt better since I had to miss the event) that some of those who were supposed to be there didn't show up!

Chan Han Goh is also very beautiful. She not only is principal dancer for the National Ballet of Canada, but has danced in Suzanne Farrell Ballet and has guest starred around the world. This month she danced Sugar Plum Fairy with the California Riverside Ballet to Nikolaj Hübbe's Cavalier in Nutcracker. Uh oh! I just saw that Chan was already on somebody's list. Sorry for the duplication!

:offtopic: but needing an answer: Poinsettias are not poisonous. Another popular myth!

Oleg Vinogradov is Artistic Director of the Universal Ballet, based in Seoul. The ballet school was called the Kirov Academy until a couple of years ago and is now the Universal Ballet Academy. While Vinogradov is still the Artistic Director, Yelena Vinogradova, as Deputy Artistic Director, is the one who actually "runs" the school. As for Altynai Asylmuratova, she is presently the Artistic Director of the Vaganova Academy, school of the Kirov Ballet (known again, especially in Europe, as the Mariinsky Ballet Company).

Giselle, I also have this book but it's lent out right now so I can't refer to it. Here is a link to the AddALL used book site that will give you a bit more info. It was published in 1965. AddALL
