DVD Reviews of Dancing for Mr B - Six Balanchine Ballerinas / Moylan, Tallchief, Ashley, Kistler, Hayden, Kent

DVD Review: 5 stars
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a must see for anyone interested in dance, theater, or classical music, not just ballet. It's beautiful - the music, the pictures, the dancing, the memories, the eloquent dancers telling their stories and recalling humorous or painful memories as ballerinas in the greatest ballet comany in the world, the NYC Ballet, all of which shape our understanding and appreciation of George Balanchine, the famous Russian choreographer and its founder - and of ballet itself. It was touching - the awe, affection and excitment theses dancers still have for Balanchine even after all these years have gone by since they've danced and since Mr. B's death (with the exception of Darci Kistler who was not yet retired during this documentary.) Mary Ellen Moylan, the first great Balanchine dancer, recalls emotionally, "I shall never forget Balanchine. To this day he is present in my life. I even dream about him at night. And I carry with me the feelings of the things he gave us." All these dancers are very interesting people, not just great dancers. They are captivating to listen to. The dance footage in this documentary is extensive and wonderful, and very rare. I would have loved to see some of his even more prominent ballerinas featured though, the one's who had been trained by him since their childhoods, especially my favorites, Heather Watts or Marjorie Sphon. But overall it was a very moving documentary that I can imagine would have a profond affect on someone who knows nothing about ballet -that's how powerful it is.
