Maria Tallchief first danced the role of Terpsichore in Apollo in 1947, and created the role of Odette, the swan queen, in Balanchine's version of Swan lake in 1951. She coaches Maria Terezia Balogh and Todd Edson in the pas de deux of Terpsichore and Apollo, then works with Balogh on Terpsichore's variation. Following this session, Tallchief discusses some of the fine points of technique emphasized by Balanchine; these are demonstrated by Balogh. She then fine-tunes some details of the Apollo pas de deux with Balogh and Edson. In the second part of the video, Tallchief works with Balogh and Michael Clark on the White swan pas de deux, danced by Odette and Prince Siegfried, from Swan lake. In an interview, she and Paul Mejia discuss partnering in Balanchine's ballets, Balanchine's version of Swan lake, and Tallchief's interpretation of his choreography.

Melissa Hayden, who created the ballerina role in Donizetti variations in its premiere in 1960, coaches Peter Boal and Gillian Murphy in the choreography performed by the two principal dancers, including their first entrance, their pas de deux (adagio, ballerina variation, and coda), and the ballerina variation danced with three men (who do not appear on this recording). The male variation in the pas de deux and a second male variation (intended to be danced with six women) are performed without coaching from Hayden. To illustrate her point that Donizetti's music provides less support for the dancing than is usual in Balanchine's ballets, Hayden has the dancers perform their entrance first to the Donizetti score, then to Tchaikovsky's music for the Black swan pas de deux from Swan lake. In an interview she discusses various aspects of the ballet: its change of costumes, which altered its character; the influence of August Bournonville's choreography; the interpretation she developed with her partner Jacques d'Amboise; and the ballet's technical challenges. She also discusses Balanchine's use of off-balance movement and his concept of the plié, and remembers him as partner and performer.
