...addition to its originality of repertoire and excellence of staging, the Ballet Theatre is distinctive for the well-rounded capabilities of its dancers. With no name stars as big as Markova, Dolin, or Danilova, it depends on skillful and hard-working dancers like Nora Kaye, Alicia Alonso, Lucia Chase, Igor Youskevitch, Michael Kidd, and Antony Tudor and a well-trained corps de ballet.

During his first week with the new Ballet Theater company Youskevitch appeared only in three short pas de deux with Ballerinas Alicia Alonso and Nora Kaye.
