Description

1 videodisc (74 min.) : sd., col.; 4 3/4 in.

Summary

Peter Boal discusses why George Balanchine revised and changed some of his choreography through the years. Boal also talks about how he discovered some of these changes while performing with other companies besides New York City Ballet. Some of the revisions are shown here along with the original versions so the difference can be seen. Each dance is preceded with a brief discussion by Peter Boal about that dance and some of the changes Balanchine made.
