Query: No spirit of Balanchine

Strangely danced. Stiff without that wonderful Balanchine flair. But then, NYCB doesn't have it anymore either. Costumes are horrible. The French make such beautiful things, why didn't they just make exact copies of the divine Karinska originals?! If you want to see these great ballets danced they way they should be, don't waste your tme watching this DVD. Go to the Dance Collection at the NY Public Library at Lincoln Center. Maybe they will break their hearts and let you watch a tape of the great days of NYCB.
