One of the world's greatest ballet teachers, David Howard, has passed away at the age of 76. He was a true legend in his field, whose generosity of spirit, great sense of humor, and dedication to the art have inspired many generations of dancers.

Watch the video from Bob Rizzo, who had the delightful and fortunate opportunity to produce a very short biography on David several years ago while they were also working on an instructional dance video. Aside from the Ballet master, Howard also shared the stage with the likes of Sophie Tucker and Marlene Dietrich, and danced for Bob Fosse in Little Me.

The dance community mourns the loss of a great legend.
