This video includes bits from 3 ballets: The Firebird, Swan Lake and The Nutcracker and brings back great memories from my childhood when I was lucky enough to take classes from a Russian Prima Ballerina named Madame Maria Kedrina in the 1950s in Santa Barbara and to dance (only in the Chorus) in a number of ballets she put on at the Lobero Theater. More on Madame Kedrina can be found in this Issuu piece done by the Santa Barbara historical society: https://issuu.com/santabarbaramuseum/docs/noticias_30_3_fall_1984
