scan of Ballets: USA on the Ed Sullivan Show, 1960, dancing what's become known as the "Mistake Waltz" from Robbins's THE CONCERT.

the following identifications come from B. M. Fisher:
(left to right) Wilma Curley and Pat Dunn front row.  Maybe the last girl on the right is Gwen Lewis.(B.M.F. was not in the Waltz, tho' she danced what she calls in her book, IN BALANCHINE'S COMPANY, the "Mad Ballerina."
