I watched it the other night. I was in NYC at the time of the filming so knew some of the dancers. Always fun to watch!

She staged Swan Lake Act 2 when I was in Milwaukee Ballet. She intimidated me with her yelling!

I just filled it out with my correct info to gain access to site....

Beautiful! When I was at Pa Ballet, they performed his Adagio Hammerklavier and Grosse Fuge. Loved them both- love his style.

I went to him in the 70's to decide between him and ABT's orthopedist for my first knee surgery. I should have gone with Dr. Hamilton since the other did not do a good job......4 knee surgeries later including a replacement.

Too funny!

She was a student of mine for a while. Shocking events.

I taught her years ago

One of my former students is in it. I watched it on my tv today and wished they would have filmed a lot closer. Great Balanchine ballet.

Alison Remmers was a student of mine many years ago. Sorry I missed it! Are they showing it again?

I watched the Dutch National Ballet Han Van Manen Part 1 last night. I had seen many years ago and many times Pa Ballet perform Adagio Hammerkavier. The dancers are great. Some are not with the company anymore. I did have trouble with the streaming stopping and starting, etc. I wish more companies in the US would perform more of his works. Looking forward to HVM part 2.

Beautiful, engrossing documentary.

Saw it at the theater today. Never saw the full length Raymonda. I'm partial to Balanchine's Raymonda Variations. The theater was fairly full but unfortunately, there were hardly any ballet students. The audience is mostly made up of older Russians who don't look like dancers! There was an almost missed lift with Olga but he held onto her. She bobbled a left pirouette near the beginning. I thought some of the lighting was too dark. Overall, enjoyed it. I wish Russians wouldn't stop the continuity of the performance with bows after almost every solo or pas.

I wish he would add some Balanchine. I saw them do Tchai Pas last season. I'm not going to spend money on a ticket so see a bunch of new works- I have been in the business of dancing professionally and teaching since the 70's and I know what I like and what I don't. I don't have the money to just go to support the ballet.

I do not like their upcoming season at all. It is too contemporary for me. Before I moved to this area, I taught at Sarasota Ballet which had a nicely mixed rep of Ashton, Balanchine, classics, and some modern. I miss S Ballet. I like a lot of the dancers in Atlanta but don't plan to see hardly any of their programs next season....
