Sir Robert Helpmann explains to all of us what the practice is about. So many think it’s all about what goes into the feet, what the feet do. It's about the whole body moving in a way to the music that doesn't even seem physically possible. Musicality is necessary. Crucial, even. "Bobby" gives us the lowdown. It's been said classical ballet is the hardest. The fact that he did it is a testimony to what he was... and how this should inspire all of us... And to Allen Harris, thanks for keep the legacy alive and burning...

Dane - thank you for your appreciative comment.
Seems such a genteel way that Helpmann broke the steps down and conveyed it in such a way that anyone could understand it
