The simplicity of excellence. George Balanchine Forever.
amen

If I am not …
If I am not mistaken Karin von Aroldingen received the rights to more Balanchine ballets than any other dancer, due to the love and kindness shown to him by her and her little family. I don’t know which ballets she received, nor how she is controlling them.
The first time I …
The first time I ever went to a ballet it ws NYCB doing that. Suzanne Farrell was in Diamonds, Patricia McBride was in Rubies. Susan Hendl was in Emeralds and so was…hmm
I just found out …
I just found out that certain company -nycb uses youtube to advertice but would not let anybody make comments….hubris? I am amazed that they forget that youtube was meant for people to have a dialogue, a progressive way for people to share inf. If nyc ballet does not want to hear the people comment why are they here? PEACE
oh my god that was …
oh my god that was ridiculously amazing balanchine is one of my favorite choreographers
Lovers of the dance …
Lovers of the dance, do not forget that there is plenty of ballet in youtube. check the vagonova’s prix, and the french prix. It is just lovely to see those kids go for the gold.
I have watched most …
I have watched most of the ballets and still visit youtube to be inspired. I really do understand the trust reasons for keeping all under control, still nyc can not live on mr. b
’s ballets for long. It needs a choreographer that is so sensational that makes balletomes visit again and again. ABT has same repertoire but is about bravura. we also need the shock of the new?
Barbara Horgan has …
Barbara Horgan has nothing better to do all day than to monitor youtube for Balanchine works so she can have them taken down. I can just hear here on the phone to the Trust’s attorneys now (with her fake accent, of course) “There are still 48 seconds of Jewels posted that someone might be taking some pleasure from – get them taken down!! immeeeeedjiately!!!”
If you made an …
If you made an effort to read about Balanchine (there are so many biographies and articles), then you would know that he was generous to a fault with letting everyone have access to his ballets. The Balanchine Trust was formed 4 years after his death to preserve his works and they have their own rules. Balanchine gave away his ballets to so many dancers and was not as concerned with performance rights as the keepers of his legacy. Do some research before you malign a legend!
I have this DVD and …
I have this DVD and it is simply wonderful! One of my favorite ballets in my collection.

Coming late to the thread.. Are the videos for general public viewing?
Thanks.
Please understand …
Please understand that there are many performance rights other than just Balanchine’s. Many of the dancers would not give permission, just like actors, musicians, and writers, that do not want their work given away for free.
how much is good …
how much is good seat at NYCB these days? I guess anyone can go to this as much as they want.
if Balanchine …
if Balanchine thought his ballets would get better by not allowing people to watch them on youtube after he was dead he wasn’t much of a person. I only recently have moved to big city where they have a ballet before that there was no access at all. Even now the local ballet does maybe one a year. The B ‘trust” needs a clue.

Thanks. We all do our best. Check out my “Casablanca, The Dance” here and let me know what you think.
John Clifford! I …
John Clifford! I remember being thrilled when I saw you were appointed to the Trust; you guys are really doing a good job.
Hold on guys. As a …
Hold on guys. As a senior ballet-master for the Balanchine Trust, and former principal dancer and choreographer for the NYC Ballet (1966-1974, Guest Artist until 1980) I can vouch that the Trust is doing all it can to, protect and serve Mr. B’s legacy. That’s why his ballet’s are still being danced more internationally than any other choreographer, and still recognizable as Balanchine’s work. Please give us a break. John Clifford
