Russian Ballet – Visiting (820)

With his mother at the piano, and his students poised at the barre, Yuri Smaltzoff upholds the tradition of Russian Classical Ballet in the most surprising location–Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. After years of performing around the world, YuriÊ began teaching in the United States in 1964. Huell visits Yuri and his adoring students as they learn an art form passed on to him by his father and a heritage over 250 years old.
