... that ballerina Kyra Nichols danced with the New York City Ballet for 33 years, and retired shortly before she turned 49? Source: "After 33 years in New York City Ballet, ballerina Kyra Nichols will, in the parlance of ballet devotees, hang up her toe shoes two-thirds of the way through her specially planned farewell tomorrow night... Just short of her 49th birthday, Ms. Nichols will swan off NYCB's stage after an unusually long career there." ([1])
ALT1:... that Kyra Nichols is one of the last ballerinas to have worked with choreographer George Balanchine? Source: "Of the five ballerinas whom George Balanchine was still helping to bring into flower at his death in 1983 — Merrill Ashley, Heather Watts, Ms. Nichols, Maria Calegari and Darci Kistler — Ms. Nichols sustained the least interrupted and ever more multifaceted career."

QPQ: - TBC Overall: Article was expanded from a redirect four days ago (although redirect was created 2008). Nice clean article, hook cited and sourced, just awaiting QPQ. In the meantime I marvel at a 48 year old prima ballerina! Both hooks are GTG, I prefer the first but will leave it up to the selecting editor to pick.
