I don't know who you are but you are fantastic in putting Vera Nemtchinowa on the web. I was one of her students and learned all these variations. It is an unbelievable experience to see her again. Thank you for dance and for Madame.

Thank goodness that someone took this video to make my teacher and those of the students who perpetuate her beliefs realize what the art of the dance really must be for those of the future.

I remember the movie "Six Weeks" starring Katherine, Dudley Moore and Mary Tyler Moore in the 80's. Katherine played Nicki a ballerina who was dying of cancer. She was awesome in that movie!!

Wow! I remember reading the book A Very Young Skater, about Katherine, when I was in elementary school. This is brilliant!
Katherine Healy is so good at ballet at such a tender age. She is so lucky to be trained by Vera Nemtchinova! May I know why is the studio so dark? Reply! Thanks!

Great Post Blue, I was suprised to see K.H turn to the right in the variation,since her natural turn is to the left...What say you?

Yes, but I saw the Auroras on youtube that K.H. did in Jackson and later in the full production and she did the pirouettes to the right there also. Sometimes she seemed to stick with the right, also in partnering. I will say this for her; apparently she had the good judgment not always to be doing thousands of pirouettes in every ballet. Glad you like Nemtchinova, they don't make 'em like that anymore!:)

In this, Nemtchinova was eighty years old and Healy was ten. Quite a spread!
