Biographical Note Bernice Rehner was born in Auburn, CA as Bernice Rechenmacher. Her parents sent her to private dance classes with Marion Hall White where she was taught acrobatics, tap dancing, and ballet once a week. When she was 18, her parents sent her to New York to study at the School of American Ballet. While studying there she met Shirley Haynes who became friend, roommate, classmate, and fellow Ballet Russe member. Bernice was given the nickname Nichska at this time. While at the School she appeared in works by modern dance choreographer Hanya Holm and by George Balanchine. She toured in student productions by Balanchine, including one to Mexico City and appeared in the first cast of Elegies, a work later taken into the New York City Ballet repertoire. She first performed with Ballet Russe in Le Baiser de la Fee choreographed by Balanchine in February 1946. On June 1, 1946 she signed her first contract with Ballet Russe. On her first tour with the company she was “sort of taken in hand” by George Verdak and William Glenn. From this friendship she began collecting Verdak’s “fat performer” art. A trained artist, Verdak often created his fat performers on the paper place mats at the restaurants where the dancers ate on tour. George gave Bernice the nickname “Miss Mae” On a vacation to visit family in Auburn in 1950 she met Walt Barnes. They married September 24, 1950 and Bernice retired from dance. .
