One of the world's most famous ballerinas, Suzanne Farrell celebrates her tenth season as the Artistic Director of the Suzanne Farrell Ballet at The Kennedy Center.
She is a great dancer, but I hope dancers today are not subject to the seduction of their teachers as she was with Balanchine...I think their relationship was inappropriate.
Thank you so Suzanne for being such a superlative artist and collaborator! And for your dedication to your art! Suzanne was Balanchine's muse. Suzanne took supreme care of herself and knew how to handle the situation.
