This is another cast of the students from The Portland Ballet, a school and training company in Portland, OR (not to be confused with the one in Maine) founded and directed by Nancy Davis Lane, and her husband Jim Lane, two former principals of my Los Angeles Ballet (1974-1984). This cast is listed on the opening credits, and even though there are a few slips, it's still a wonderful performance by these teenagers. I first choreographed this in 1975 for my LA company, and I didn't need to change one step for these fine young dancers. This company regularly uses a live orchestra which is a luxury for a school, and as you can see has excellent costumes and production values.
