Thank you Katheryn and AntoP.<P>While you are looking through that book, notice one of the male dancers - Theodore Brunson. He and I were in class for years together. In fact I was present when he took his first class. It was at Grossmont College, teacher was Larry Eddington. Ted was 19 years old!! So he was a late starter too. Shows that it can be done doesn't it?<P>Ted was a natural. In that very first class he did changments with wonderfully pointed feet and an almost perfect pirouette. The teacher and I were old friends, and we watched in amazement, rolling our eyes at each other. With pleasure, I assure you.<P>After taking classes with Eddington, Ted went on to Ballet Society with teacher Jacqueline Hepner (she was a Balanchine dancer), where I studied for many years. It was at her beautiful studio on Washington Ave., in San Diego. <P>He went on to dance with Pennsylvania Ballet, I believe as a soloist. Ted was a beautiful dancer from that very first class, and a really nice guy.
