I thought one of the funniest lines I ever heard was when the ballet teacher sez: "Mr. Balanchine made us do grands battements for 2-1/2 hours and we couldn't stop until somebody died..."

It was indeed fabulous. Saw this exhibit in London at the Victoria and Albert a couple of years ago (take four boxes of Kleenex), and it has just about everything relevant. Great films of Karsavina, personal effects, etc. etc. If you care anything about dance history GO NOW...! Auntie Lynn in SF

Traveled 10,000 miles to London to see Sergei - he was frabjous!! Then he quit. So I traveled another 10,000 miles to see Alina Cojucaru (sp ??). Then she quit. I give up... Auntie Lynn in San Fran...
