Happy birthday, Maria! I first read about her when I was a child, in the How And Why Wonder Book of Ballet.

I read a book about her when I was in elementary school, and I was just inspired and amazed, and she married ballachine as well.

a maverick and a goddess! my ballet mistress was one her students in the early 1970s, she taught her the Balanchine technique.

Wow, and god knows those were difficult techniques! That's amazing that she got to study under her!

And my great luck that she moved to Canada and took a position where I was studying!
