driver of a dancer Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Trying to draw up a list of ballet companies who have Balanchine "roots." My daughters AD of ballet school told her to go towards SI's and companies that are "run" by x-dancers of his. My small list is: NYCB- Peter Martins Suzanne Farrell- Suzanne Farrell Ballet Paul Mejia- Arlington Ballet, TX Edward Villella- Miami City Ballet NCDT- Jean Pierre Bonnefous and Patricia McBride This list has to be bigger......assistance please Hope this is on the correct forum :rolleyes: Link to comment
Alexandra Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 This is a fine place for it, Driver of a Dancer. Helgi Tomasson directs the San Francisco Ballet Kent Stowell and Francia Russell direct the Pacific Northwest Ballet Ib Andersen directs Ballet Arizona I'm sure others will add more. Link to comment
driver of a dancer Posted July 11, 2003 Author Share Posted July 11, 2003 I am glad I got it into the correct forum. Her main teacher is from NYCB and danced with "Mr. B" DD is very "mannered" in her style.Use to quickness and speed. Link to comment
bellepoele5 Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 As far as summer schools, CPYB is run by former Balanchine In NY State, the NYSSSA program is run by Bojan and Stephanie Spassoff and most of the teachers are former Balanchine or current NYCB members John Pierre and Patricia McBride also run Chataqua Ballet in the summer in NY I also believe the Pittursburg Ballet and Pennsylvania Ballet are run but former Balanchine dancers although I can't remember the names off hand Link to comment

Alexandra Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Driver of a dancer, never worry about whether it's in the right forum or not. We have Little Elves who move things around when you're asleep bellepoele, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre is directed by Terry Orr, who danced with ABT. I believe Roy Kaiser (Pennsylvania Ballet) is from NYCB -- but I'll wait to stand corrected So DD will have a lot of places from which to choose! Link to comment
Leigh Witchel Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Roy Kaiser did not dance with NYCB, his brother Russell did. (He's a ballet master there now.) I believe Roy went up through the ranks at Pennsylvania Ballet. That being said, the company still has close ties to NYCB and its style. Link to comment
