Mumbling my favorite line from "The Turning Point" - "Once more, with no feeling please."

Not to mention the "flower carrier"!!

According to what I can find it appears that these performances in October 1962 were Nureyev's US stage debut. No; it was with that company but in March 1962 at the Brooklyn Academy. My bad.

I believe he enters about half way through the film.

Very short, silent and not beautifully filmed but interesting nonetheless; from the Ruth Page archive that is slowly being put on line; remember that it will not play with Explorer but works with Firefox or Chrome. Don't know how to embed this but link is here - http://www.chicagofilmarchives.org/collections/index.php/Detail/Object/Show/object_id/8650

and then ...

Sorry - rg is correct as always.

The library has this also: Title: Boston Ballet [videorecording] Bourrée fantasque (27 min.) / recorded on April 9, 1989 (matinee) ; choreography, George Balanchine ; music, Emmanuel Chabrier ; principal dancers may be Sherri Peacock and Daniel Meja (Bourrée fantasque), Marie Christine Mouis and Devon Carney (Prelude), Laura Young and Michael Job (Fete polonaise)

Maybe someone will come along who knows who she is.

Of which I'm assuming that the following may be a segment (from a fundraising program of 1991).

I'm going to hand the discussion of your main question to those who might know better than I but will point out that in the film you are speaking of, Myrtha is danced by Toni Lander. Eleanor d'Antuono may be in the peasant pas de deux, I don't recall right away.

The death of Peter Burrows, renowned figure skating coach and husband to Katherine Healy, was reported in Newsday today. http://www.newsday.com/long-island/obituaries/peter-burrows-dead-olympic-figure-skating-coach-was-75-1.7694140?p=896166&firstfree=yes

This video is part of the collection of Ruth Page, which the Chicago Film Archive is preserving and putting on line. Here is a summary of the program that I found. This is only the segment with Nureyev. Must mention that the video will not play with Internet Explorer; it was fine with Chrome. http://www.chicagofilmarchives.org/collections/index.php/Detail/Object/Show/object_id/9194

I'd be willing to bet Kosloff choreographed it. I know Adrian did costumes for the film, but I don't know about those for the dancers. Spoke too soon; IMDB credits "Leroy Prinz" as Dance Director?

Me too!!!

Didn't watch but took offense to the joke on Liza Minnelli.
