 the male dancer
written by an on 17.02. at 03:21:23 - as answer to: Re: An actual dance question, believe it or not by Bob at About the B+ position. Dr. Dancebelt and Bob said: ">Yes, it is named after Mr. Balanchine." Then what did the Russians (who use it in pictures from the early 1900's) call it? "Preparatione?" I don't doubt that Mr. B. brought it over, but I really believe it pre-dated him (But I'm not sure...what year was he born?), based on old photos I've seen. Even Nijinsky used it. anonymous, not being argumentative, just really interested in ballet history! Answers to this message: |
