Welcome to my channel, which focuses on ballet with photography commentary. The channel consists of profiles of preeminent dancers such as Mikhail Baryshnikov, Herman Cornejo, Daniil Simkin, and others. Also, a ballet video dictionary consisting of steps performed by the ballet greats. I posted videos originally in September 2015. Revised videos were uploaded in August 2016 based on helpful comments from viewers.

Thanks to:

My dance teacher Barbara Ebert at Ballet Midwest where I danced in the 1980s

Edward Ellison of Ellison Ballet for help on terminology on several steps

Chris Perez at Donaldson + Callif law firm for reviewing the project and videos

I attempt to use terminology consistent with Gail Grant, Technical Manual and Dictionary of Classical Ballet (Dover 1982).
