Since we're on an old-school ballet kick, here's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT8AdwV0Vkw

Oh, I'm so glad you said something. I just thought you weren't doing much on tin can. I've missed so much and am so glad to be with you in this way. Hooray! The Alzheimer's dancer bit is horrifying but amazing, where did you find that picture of your dad, why is landscaping the best to go??????
@Baba After Owen posted the Jerome Robbins clip, I started wondering if my dad might have been one of the men in the piece at some point. So I did a quick search for Bill Earl New York City Ballet and that came up. Along with this...
@B
Wow! That is so interesting. I wonder where this picture was taken and how anyone got it. Looks like he's teaching, is older thanNYCBallet days, had a beard etc. Glad to see this.
@B
Yes! This was a photo by Carl Van Vechten. This was before I met him but probably not much before, maybe 1959-60.
@Baba That is correct. November 14, 1960, to be precise. From La Sonnambula by Balanchine. Guessing that's "The Sleepwalker".
@Baba The teaching photo was on EBay, curiously enough.
