I wish Danilova had had a great honorment film also with a long interview of her too. Doubrovska and Danilova are just exquisite people and dancers. They are in a class by themselves. I do remember one documentary where Madame Danilova is asked why does she dress up every day so formerly and wear her pearl necklace and diamonds every day. Without missing a beat, and in that incredible accent, Danilova says, "I wear these fine jewels to show my students that becoming a ballet dancer is worth it." I'm paraphrasing and you would have to hear that inimitable bold impishness in her voice that Danilova conveys but it was so funny and vintage spectacular Danilova. I imagine that if Danilova would ever feel ridiculed or judged she would have the most classy and elegantly sassy responses to counteract it! In her book Danilova said, "Nominate yourself! Nominate yourself!" She was referring to the reality that you cant be a wallflower in the corner even if you might be the best dancer. You have to be out there and push yourself to the front and be seen and show what you have. Don't let another dancer get a role that you want without fighting for it! Doubrovska was so incredibly exquisite and elegant, as a dancer and in later life.

"Doubovska Remembered" -- thank you so much, Markie. I looked for this DVD and it's hard to find but with you sharing it, you share her with other generations. "The End of A Great Era".

This is lovely….it seems there are always “grand ladies” in the arts, passing on their knowledge and their essence to their students, and thankfully there are films of some of these women for people to see. It makes me think of all of the grand ladies all over the world, before film or those no one ever thought to film, anonymous or perhaps nameless, who gave so much and asked for little in return, and who had immense pride in their knowledge and just kept giving and giving and giving until they were old and died. I’m glad Doubrovska is remembered, but I wish there were many films of her dancing!

It is whole other experience to see older dancers teach, demonstrate, recall. Danilova took class every day with my teacher, Nina Stroganova. These women did not stop dancing just because they retiured from the stage, they danced in the classroom, and that helped make them such great teachers.

It's amazing to learn that. I had the privilege of studying with Mme Stroganova in the 70s-80s, and what Maria Calegari said about how students absorbed the essence of these great ballerinas was spot on. You find yourself walking down the street differently!
