On today's episode of "Conversations On Dance", we are thrilled to be joined by legendary New York City Ballet ballerina Maria Calegari. In the first installment of our interview, Maria details her early training, initial interactions with Balanchine and how therapy became a driving force in the success of her career. Maria offers a view into one of the most storied eras of American ballet history, and a very personal insight into her own meteoric success.
