Kennedy Center Honors Natasha

Natalia Makarova will be a 2012 Kennedy Center Honoree! You can watch the 35th broadcast of the awards on CBS Wednesday December 26th. Here she is with Baryshnikov in Roland Petit’s Carmen. 

Be sure to check out Wendy Perron’s article celebrating the 40th anniversary of Makarova’s defection (http://www.dancemagazine.com/issues/May-2010/Heres-Looking-At-You-Natasha). In that story Makarova shares her memories of that time along with a plethora of photographs. Lots of fun!
