Product Description

Even after the death of the great choreographer and ballet master George Balanchine, the legacy of his beautiful ballets and the striving for perfection, which he instilled in his dancers lives on. This documentary celebrates six of Balanchine's ballerinas, Mary Ellen Moylan, Maria Tallchief, Melissa Hayden, Allegra Kent, Merrill Ashley and Darci Kistler, and shows them keeping alive the ballets and the inspiration they learned from him. For all of them Balanchine was the single most powerful influence in their lives.

Where is the movie on this great Artist?

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2009

Verified Purchase

If you love ballet, you probably already own this. You most likely did what I did and bought on title alone. If you are interested in knowing why the world of dance still holds Balanchine in such high esteem, this will give you a great prespective. You will hear his dancers speak, and their stories are captivating. After watching this film, I believe you will walk away with a respect for his influence on the arts. If you seek out more information on Balanchine, I believe you will be amazed at his life. I truly believe that a great movie could be made about George Balanchine. He came from humble beginnings, came to America on his own as a young man, and changed the world of dance forever. His personal life is just as interesting-marriages to famous dancers (one struck down by Polio at 27), and a long life dedicated to his work. A complex man to be sure, and a legend that will never be replaced.

Ballet at the top.

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2009

Verified Purchase

I am not a decadent spectator, watching ballet for show. Middle class describes my life and 'rough' my social skills. Yet I love the ballet as a means to escape the mundane, and celebrate the human physique. The dancers are athletes, only more graceful, careening on stage in an organized disarray. Displaying power and control, they hold back seeming chaos and defy gravity. But it is the choreographer that ultimately pulls their strings, and Mr. Balanchine (Mr. B) was among the best. This documentary covers his life with the New York City Ballet which he basically founded and nourished. In it six of their more famous female artists give brief experiences of their relationship to Mr.B, and this is intersperced with clips of excellent performances. This DVD is a great introduction into the spirit of ballet as well as a great resource of ballet artists. Highly recommended.

i was somewhat disappointed with the DVD's photography. Perhaps it was my machine that made it look so dark and the dancers so cramped. However, I will try it on a different, larger screen and see it it works more satisfacterally.

The best Ballanchine DVD yet.

What a great tribute to BALLET! As Peter Martins said, [You won't get rich, but you will grow old with pains all over your body. You must have a deep devotion to dance]. You can't ask for more dedication than that from the ballerinas who participated in this epic DVD. Their insights, experiences, the little things and the big ones - all completely fascinating. I will watch this one again and again. I enjoyed every one's story. They all brought something very special to this homage to Mr. B, but I found Melissa Hayden's the most enjoyable. She was so articulate and funny. MG! What a great performer for such a late starter! May she RIP.

Highly recommended!

Dancing for Mr. B. Six American Ballerinas speak about the great choreographer for whom they worked

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

Nothing is better than hearing the assessment of those dancers that worked and were shaped by a great choreographer. It is sad that there are no interviews with those that knew Balanchine in Russia, France and Denmark. All of these places left an incredible mark on his work. Recommended to any interested in understading the work and genius of Balanchine
