Summary
Melissa Hayden, who created the female role in the pas de deux of George Balanchine's Stars and stripes with Jacques d'Amboise for the New York City Ballet in 1958, coaches Charles Askegard and Gillian Murphy in this pas de deux. In the interview section, she discusses the creation of Stars and stripes, the musicality of the choreography, and the difficulty performing the female variation. She also reminisces about creating the beginning of this pas de deux with Conrad Ludow and how proud Balanchine was to be an American.
