Thank you! What a wonderful historical document. I wonder was the class that truncated, or did he simply decide to liven it up by dancing instead of demonstrating.
I think it's a combo: obviously the tape of the class is edited, but I love how he connects the barre exercise to what it is meant to develop. Performing dramatically stimulates these earnest, polite, but perhaps scared students: it breaks the tension while at the same time gives them a perfect demonstration of how a precise barre exercise lays the foundation for something so exciting! Barishnikov spectacularly entertains & shakes them out of their fear, stimulating them to "go for it!", reminding them that the ultimate goal is performance. It's a challenge, a treat & an injection of high octane energy into an atmosphere that seems stifled. What a role model they had! I was practically leaping out of my chair just sitting at home watching this, so imagine what those dancers felt! Many thanks for this glimpse into another world, and another time.

i was wondering if anyone knows the name of the Chinese ballerina in the 'Giselle' section? it sounds like 'Jong Run Liang' just going from the audio introduction. googling 'Jong Run Liang' brings up nothing so most likely i have the spelling wrong.

Baryschnikov : "Look, just do like I do. That's easy."
Thank you so much. This is a gem.
Vintage!
Baryshnikov was in fine form. The performance
was poorly lighted and
barely visible, but the
Impressive impact were evident.
Fantastic
Merci pour ce partage..
thank you!
She looked like she was really thinking it through during the early part of the pas de deux, but that is understandable.
The lovliest Giselle partnering moments ever...

Zhung Wenlian
Her name is "钟润良" in Chinese. I tried to find a English name that can be used to find her but I failed.
