“On the fourth and top floor of an unprepossessing building which squats on the noisy northeast corner of Manhattan’s Madison Avenue and Fifty-Ninth Street, fifty-off scantily clad young women and a dozen or more young men have been kicking, stretching, turning, jumping, posturing from two to six hours a day for more than a year because (1) they believe the ballet is the highest form of artistic expression, (2) they have supreme faith in their ability to express themselves in this medium.”
