I am just so thankful that my mom was a fantastic mom. She wasn't a stage mother; she didn't push me. She was happy if I was happy. We are so different. I was very shy; my mom did all the talking. She was my strength. She never expected that I would be this ballerina. Patricia McBride ballerinaexpectfantastic share on social

Conrad Ludlow was an extraordinary partner... We just called him the greatest partner because he just knew what a woman's balance was. Patricia McBride balancecallconrad Change image and share on social
I cherish the ballets made for myself by Mr. Balanchine. He never lost his temper. He was quiet, humble, the genius of the 20th century. Patricia McBride 20thbalanchineballet Change image and share on social
I danced with Jacques d'Amboise. At that time, he was the tallest man in the company. So it was a different kind of choreography. It was lyrical. Patricia McBride amboisechoreographycompany Change image and share on social
