    I was a member of the Detroit Chamber Ballet 🩰 Society in the 1980's, which was a Russian Ballet 🩰 Troupe whose teachers were former members of the New York City Ballet 🩰, Mr. Louie Ravenal n Ms. Lorna Simmonds, who were married at one time. They taught me for 6 years n our most beloved dancers were Mikhail Baryshnikov and Natalia Makarova!!! Misha is the quintessential classical dancer who combined jazz, blues, classical music n old standards together to make up this ab fab version of "One More For The Road"". He captured Frank Sinatra's ease and style to the ultimate essence, n no one could ever be so simplistic n so complicated all at once!!! Much Love 💕 to both Sinatra and Misha!!!!

    I saw him perform this in Buenos Aires at Teatro Colón. His work with Twyla Tharp was one of the greatest collaborations during is dancing career. I thought he would not be able to de-structure his ballet training for what Twyla needed from him. The transformation was mind blowing. I had watched nearly all Twyla had choreographed for her Company (VHS days). To me it is the most fascinating body work I had seen in my whole life. Push Comes to Shove is superb. I saw the movie of The Catherine Wheel. Astonishing. She saw into the future! The disintegration of the family unit, now standard practice! A Genius. Both Baryshnikov and Twyla showed the world what was coming. 1981!!! ♥️
