Anne Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Ib Andersen celebrates his 60th birthday today. Congratulations! Ib Andersen was a cherished dancer in Copenhagen before he left Denmark to be a principal dancer with the NYVB at the beginning of the 1980'ies. I was so lucky to see him, before he left, as Albrecht in Giselle, and I still remember the way he almost floated through the air. The season before last season he made a charming staging of Bournonville's Kermesse of Bruges with the RDB, which i hope will soon be revived.
DanielBenton Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 I have been watching Balanchine's "Robert Schumann's 'Davidsbundlertanze'" in which Ib partners Sara Leland as the fourth couple. Very nice!

Helene Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 i was privileged to see most of his career at NYCB. One of the greatest dancers I've ever seen live, with an incredible range.
