Orcutt Botsford School of Dance 1982

Students from the Botsford School of Dance shown rehearsing for the New York Ballet Competition 1982. I have many additional performance and rehearsal clips taken from 1981 through 1983, including clips of Luba Gulyaeva and the late Jurgen Schneider rehearsing students for the annual Nutcracker performance.

At the time, this ballet school had a relationship with American Ballet Theater (ABT) and a few of the students were able to eventually dance with that company.

Hello!  Very interesting. The NYIBC wasn't held for the first time until 1984; could this be another competition they were preparing for?

@numberonefilmfan It is possible they were preparing for the Varna competition. In fact, this is what I originally wrote when I posted the video, but was contacted by one of the people who ran the studio back then who thought it was the NYIBC competition. So, I changed the description.

"clips of Luba Gulyaeva and the late Jurgen Schneider rehearsing students for the annual Nutcracker performance."

Can you please send me the links to that video of my father rehearsing with Luba. Thank you... it would be very much appreciated.
