  1. I could not stop listening to this interview today. It is fascinating, containing inside info on Mr. B that I had not heard before. It is a must listen! "John Clifford, former New York City Ballet Principal Dancer, joins us this week to talk about his career and share stories of George Balanchine. John was a dancer with NYCB from 1966-1974 and also choreographed eight works for the company. Mr. Clifford had a very close relationship with Balanchine, and we are thrilled to have him share him memories with us today." John Clifford : Dancing for Balanchine
