(Valentina Pereyaslavec, internationally renowned Ukrainian primadonna and teacher of ballet, is observing three significant milestones in her illustrious career this year-she is nearing her 70th birthday, though one could not tell it by the zest and ebullience with which she conducts her classes; she is in her 50th year of dancing and teaching; and she marks her 25th anniversary with the American Ballet Theatre. In conjunction with these events, the "Dance News", a prestigious journal of ballet, brought out three articles, including one by Mme. Pereyaslavec herself in its December 1976 edition on the occasion of her involvement with the American Ballet Theatre. Below, we are reprinting the articles as a tribute to Mme.
