cubanmiamiboy Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 This is one of the very few clips in existence of Danilova's dancing on Youtube. I find it very cute. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR6s79sdgUE Link to comment
justafan Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Delightful! What year was this? Danilova must have been 50! Link to comment
cubanmiamiboy Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 I'm glad you liked it. Actually, Miss Danilova was 55 here, as this is a sequence from the musical Oh, Captain! of 1958, and she was born in 1903-(know the date by heart...we share the same birthday!!...just a few years apart ) Link to comment
Farrell Fan Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Thank you, Cristian. Nice to see those glimpses of Danilova's legendary legs. Link to comment
ViolinConcerto Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Tony Randall loved ballet from the minute he saw the Ballets Russes in his hometown (Kansas? OK?) as a child. He described his experience at a benefit for "Kaatsbaan" (in Tivoli, NY) back in the mid-90's. I imagine it was a real thrill for him to dance with Madam Danilova! P.S. I just checked and the film clip has been removed from You Tube. Cruel fate! Link to comment

carbro Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Here's a working link, ViolinConcerto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Ps4KT0Kqw. You get about 1:20 montage of low-res still photos before Randall and Madame encounter each other. Link to comment
Helene Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Mme. Danilova: was there ever a greater sport in ballet? Link to comment
ViolinConcerto Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 What total fun! Thanks for posting the revived link. How incredible for her to be dancing like that in her 50's. Not bad, eh? Link to comment
