Kenneth Johnson

[Mme. Hermine]

The death of Kenneth Johnson at age 89 was announced  to me by a former dancing partner of his from the Ruth Page company.  He had taught for many years in Pittsburgh after retiring.  I don't have much more information but remember him as a particularly good partner.  This film of a rehearsal begins with him in a solo.

Thanks for the link.  Some really fine choreography, and a lovely sense of go in the performance of it.
