        In Balanchine's 'Jewels,' Individuals Have Their Chance to Sparkle

        Publication The New York Times
        Date 3/2/2009

        In profile to the audience, her partner’s hands on her waist, the ballerina of George Balanchine’s “Diamonds” walks slowly forward on point. This celebrated passage occurs toward the end of their andante pas de deux, just as the third movement of Tchaikovsky’s Third Symphony returns to its main melody, making us feel we are reaching the heart of matters.
