One dancer is not named. Merrill Ashley – she is standing just to the left of Darci. Our left…… Darci’s right.

Hi Gustavo – I am so sorry I am getting to this so late – I have been working all day. Everything looks correct now – Calegari is spelled with an ‘i’ at the end.
This is a wonderful photo – the ‘old’ guard so-to-speak. The Balanchine ballerinas who were chosen by Balanchine himself:)
