Valse Fantaisie (Glinka/Balanchine)

Here’s a pristine video from the 1973 film in Berlin with Sara Leland and John Clifford in the leads (Clifford and Mimi Paul danced the 1967 premiere). With Merrill Ashley, Deborah Flomine, Susan Hendl, and Suzanne Pilarre. Balanchine had choreographed an earlier version for one man and three women, but kept this version; which is still being danced today.
