Kansas City Ballet dancers in Allegro Brillante

• ... that choreographer George Balanchine said his ballet Allegro Brillante, set to Tchaikovsky's last work, "contains everything I knew about classical ballet – in thirteen minutes"? Source: [1], p. 171

5x expanded by Corachow (talk). Self-nominated at 16:32, 27 September 2022 (UTC).

• New enough. Long enough (more than 5x, from 770 to 4382 chars). QPQ done. Hook is interesting, and AGF on the offline source. Earwig found no issues. All paragraphs cited. NPOV maintained throughout. For me, the image does not work well at a small size for the main page - perhaps a crop might be better? Good to go. Edwardx (talk) 20:50, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Kansas City Ballet dancers in Allegro Brillante

• I don't know that it's an improvement, but here's a cropped version. Also, I think the hook would work better trimmed down a bit:

ALT1: ... that George Balanchine said Allegro Brillante, "contains everything I knew about classical ballet – in thirteen minutes"?

@RoySmith: Thanks for the cropped image. I'm fine with either ALT0 or ALT1, and will let the promoter decide. Corachow (talk) 15:05, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
