...other troupes staged his works, recalls his onetime assistant Barbara Horgan, director of the George Balanchine Trust, which licenses performances by other companies. He formed intense bonds with his favored female dancers, making them his muses. He married four of them - Tamara Geva, Vera Zorina, Maria Tallchief and Tanaquil LeClercq - and had liaisons with others. Male or female, close or remote, most of his dancers revered their ?Mr. B.? ?I can?t say that I knew him well,? says former NYCB dancer Ib Andersen, artistic director of Ballet Arizona. ?But his ballets are part of me, his musicality, his timing...
...taxes on income, capital gains or dividends. This has long made Monaco a playground for the fabulously wealthy, of whatever background.

A lot of faces began to show in the darkness, too far down to be full-grown dancers. It was pretty scary until the stage got lighter and it turned out that the girls and boys were on their...
...Balanchine's dancers were on their toes most of the time, doing high kicks and hoedowns evoking rather than describing romance and square dance on the frontier. Sometimes the ballerinas took off their fancy airs: pretty Diana Adams walked flatfooted, in an impudent, corn-fed way; dramatic Tanaquil LeClercq snapped her hips waggishly; Janet Reed took a running header across the stage onto her partner's arms...
