Mr. Coll I had to watch this again, I used to live near his upper westside studio. I thought about taking a class from him but I couldn't drag myself away from Valentina Pereyaslavec's class at the Ballet Theatre School. That was a mistake I heard he was a good teacher.
Yes Richard Thomas was a good teacher, but not an enjoyable one with which to study. I needed what he had to offer to round out my Russian/Celli/RAD training, and he certainly did this. I preferred Pereyaslivec's class as you did.
From an Eastern Kentucky Muddy Branch coal miner to a ballet dancer to a ballet teacher to John-Boy Walton to a Hallmark actor this world has gone to libtard hell...lol
Beautiful tribute for an amazing and talented dancer
Wow

Wonderful, poignant video.
Thanks David
Many, many memories... and the studio.

Feld smoking. Those were the days!!! Thanks for this. I'd love to make a podcast about Thomas. Please reach out if you'd like to discuss.
Lovely tribute - thank you.
Thank you, it was a video I just had to make, for this was an influential and critical part of my ballet career.

Is this the father of Richard Thomas (John Boy Walton) the similarities in looks and build are uncanny? Richard Thomas is one of my favorite actors.
Cathy Hardman yes.
Thank you for this lovely piece. I studied with Richard and Barbara as a 16-year-old girl.
