'Ballet is woman,' said the choreographer
George Balanchine , and it is true that for most of us the ballerina is at the heart of classical ballet. In this series of four films,
Natalia Makarova, one of the greatest ballerinas of today, explores what it means to be a ballerina. As she says, 'you must bring into an ideal balance the body of a superb athlete and the soul of an artist.' with Carla Fracci , Isabelle Guerin Sylvie Guillem Cynthia Harvey Susan Jaffe Lis Jeppesen
