Is this particular version performed still as Markova danced it? Royal Ballet and National Ballet of Cuba have very similar versions but they are still a bit different.
She is lovely! I am in tears. I was lucky enough to have been in a class where she came and taught and the way she commanded the studio the minute she walked in, you could hear a pin drop! Thank you so much for sharing!
This clip shows Dame Alicia Markova rehearsing Janette Mulligan and Martin James, Principals with London Festival Ballet (now known as the English National Ballet).
She was truly one of the most intelligent, polite, sincere dancers of our time. A gifted artist, completely devoted to her art. Her Giselle is one of a kind.
