Interesting paragraph: "The Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo has further extended the scope of its cultural and educational work with the establishment of its official School of Ballet in New York City in March, 1954. We are happy to say that the attendance at our School has far exceeded our expectations, and this confirms once more the high standing of our name. In less than six months, the number of students exceeds 650 and the enrollment is continuously growing."
