Shot on Bungan Beach, a beach north of Sydney that even today remains relatively isolated. It is hidden from the main road and accessible only by a walking track.
After enlarging the video and stopping the film, my brother and I determined that my father is actually the man doing the swinging and is in the solid color trunks lifting the ballerina, his faced obscured. Yes, the pure joy of this movement is just breathtaking. And makes me miss my father, who died in 1982, all the more.
@KimKo57 very interesting and very moving too must have been a great surprise for you find dad on this clip.what was his name ?he looks as a very strong gifded dancer and an handsome man ,all best
Absolutely wonderful to see those lost clips of dancers that became part of the legend in those private moments. They were really very special people, a bygone with a constellation of great stars. I do appreciate that you took the time to share it with us in YT. Thank you so much!
Lovely video. I remember Tamara Toumanova in 1950s Hollywood musicals. She often played the vixen, unsympathetic prima donna in the theatre setting. Often unpopular. Her facial bone structure suited such roles. Her last big roles were Hitchcock's Torn Curtain with Paul Newman and of course as the ballerina in a film about Sherlock Holmes. In both very much the very neurotic, very Russian ballerina. Magnificent!
Thank you so much for posting this. Absolutely beautiful! I love seeing dancers in casual settings or seeing what goes on when the curtain goes down. Could you please identify the dancers?

The music is by Alexander Balanescu played by The Balanescu Quartet. It isn't yet recorded commercially. We hope soon.
