    This is one of the very few clips in existence of Danilova's dancing on Youtube. I find it very cute. wub.gif

    Enjoy!

    Delightful! What year was this? Danilova must have been 50!

    I'm glad you liked it. Actually, Miss Danilova was 55 here, as this is a sequence from the musical Oh, Captain! of 1958, and she was born in 1903-(know the date by heart...we share the same birthday!!...just a few years apart wink1.gif )

    Thank you, Cristian. Nice to see those glimpses of Danilova's legendary legs.

    Tony Randall loved ballet from the minute he saw the Ballets Russes in his hometown (Kansas? OK?) as a child. He described his experience at a benefit for "Kaatsbaan" (in Tivoli, NY) back in the mid-90's. I imagine it was a real thrill for him to dance with Madam Danilova!

    P.S. I just checked and the film clip has been removed from You Tube. Cruel fate!

    Here's a working link, ViolinConcerto:

    You get about 1:20 montage of low-res still photos before Randall and Madame encounter each other.

    Mme. Danilova: was there ever a greater sport in ballet?

    What total fun! Thanks for posting the revived link. How incredible for her to be dancing like that in her 50's. Not bad, eh?
