- Barre work from one of my lessons with former Diaghilev ballerina Vera Nemtchinova in 1980. This is the full lesson, part 1. Madame passed away forty years ago this summer. It is important to preserve some line of continuity, so I am putting some of my lessons out in their entirety as a tribute to her.
This film gets blurry for a minute or two during the tendues, but then it comes back; it was something with the camera at the time and I left this film in its complete form.

Katherine Healy was such a gifted young lady ! I've seen a video on YT, she was 16 and was invited at l'Opéra de Paris to dance Etudes with Patrick Dupont ! stunning ....
Beautiful lesson with a great teacher and a great pianist also !
What a wonderful tribute to this amazing teacher. Thank you so much for posting.
This has an enchanting beauty that aches my soul. May God bless everyone's life
You can hear someone practicing opera in the background which leads me to believe this class was in one of the old buildings in NYC (midtown are the ones I know) where there are many small studios holding practices, auditions, classes happening simultaneously. Gloriously grimy and run down, full of artists.
Not to mention how challenging to perform all barre exercises in the center. That's great training.

Great exercises. I'm gonna try this tomorrow.
So, I did the first few exercises in between my usual training routine, and whoah, that tendu in first with the retiré somehow unlocked some new turnout muscles for me? O.o I've been looking for something to help me finally utilise all of my theoretical turnout; I always failed because I felt so stiff and grippy, holding everything from the butt and hips, but I maybe fount the 'inside of the thigh' people keep talking about?
I'll report back once I've tried this for a bit...
