Summary
Maria Tallchief first danced the role of Terpsichore in Apollo in 1947, and created the role of Odette, the swan queen, in Balanchine's version of Swan lake in 1951. She coaches Maria Terezia Balogh and Todd Edson in the pas de deux of Terpsichore and Apollo, then works with Balogh on Terpsichore's variation. Following this session, Tallchief discusses some of the fine points of technique emphasized by Balanchine; these are demonstrated by Balogh. She then fine-tunes some details of the Apollo pas de deux with Balogh and Edson. In the second part of the recording, Tallchief works with Balogh and Michael Clark on the White swan pas de deux, danced by Odette and Prince Siegfried, from Swan lake. In an interview at ca. 95 min. into the tape, she and Paul Mejia discuss partnering in Balanchine's ballets, Balanchine's version of Swan lake, and Tallchief's interpretation of his choreography.
