This is the dancer that inspired me to dance ballet. I was never interested in ballet. But once I watched her perform, I"m now a ballet dancer working on my plies and turnout exercises. She's the one who inspired me. <3

Darci Kistler--yes, the very last official "Balanchine ballerina." She had one of the longest on-stage dancing careers ever. Maybe the fact that she was married to the company's head had something to do with it. But just because one's too old to dance professionally doesn't mean they should leave dance altogether. Martins himself still runs the NYCB . He also choreographs his own works. And Darci, well... keep teaching. Maybe choreograph a ballet yourself.

Just remember, candles on a Christmas tree are a BAD IDEA. That's why they invented electric lights! ;-)

Such a lovely tribute for a stunningly beautiful and amazing ballerina of our age! I'm glad they included a clip from her performance in the Bournonville ballet. I'm very fond of that one.
