i just finished reading the autobiography of russian born/world famous ballerina alexandra danilova. known to her friends as 'choura' this dancer wrote so well about her gypsy life on her toes. working with and at one time living with the great choreographer george ballanchine, i was swept up into her wondrous world. her idea of true ambition was for dancers to never skip class. so refreshing. now, if i can find a copy of the film 'the turning point' for less than hundreds of dollars, i will probably notice more than i did when the film first came out. 'the turning point' had a stellar cast including shirley maclaine and anne bancroft. the beautiful dancer mikael barishnikov both danced and acted his way into the hearts of most of us. he went on to act in film and t.v.
