"She was very close to
Balanchine. She called him,
`Mr. B., " Bonnie says wistful-
ly gazing at a photo of Ms.
Farrell trimmed in lavender
and lace. "She had all these
wonderful stories."
Bonnie's own story is one of
talent combined with dedica-
tion. Four years old when she
began taking lessons at the
Jewish Community Center,
Bonnie studied with Julie
Bonsall for eight years.
"She gave me my love of
dance," Bonnie says. "I learn-
ed so much from her."
In the summers of 1986 and
1987, Bonnie trained at a
children's workshop of the
Boston Ballet School. She
credits her next teacher,
Mary Geiger of West Bloom-
field, with teaching her how
to perform. She now studies
at the Lascu School of Ballet
in Bloomfield Hills, dancing
six days a week, an hour-and-
a-half each day.
All that practice has refin-
ed her style and trial by audi-
tion has given her poise, as
well as some valuable life
lessons.
"I've auditioned since I was
9-years-old," Bonnie says
matter-of-factly. "So auditions
are now a snap. I feel confi-
dent. I just go in there and try
my best.
"After I came out of the
New York audition this year,
I wasn't sure I'd get in
because of my height. I
thought it would be catching
up to me. But I came out and
I knew I'd done the best I
could do. I felt good about
myself."
Bonnie's
diminutive
stature, Beverly Dock ex-
plains, would not work in her
favor were she to pursue a
performing career. The world
of ballet prefers tall, long-
stemmed women.
Beverly Dock also cites the
other show-stopping truth
that confronts all aspiring
ballerinas: When it come to
stardom, few are tapped and
the rest are strapped, pirouet-
ting for a pittance in
financially-strained ballet
companies.
"People think if you dance
every day it eventually leads
to the goal of performing,"
Beverly Dock says. "They say,
`Oh, you want to be a
ballerina?' But that's not
what it's all about. It's the
day-to-day lifestyle, the ap-
preciation of ballet and
classical music, the body
movement and self-discipline
you learn."
While ballet is Bonnie's
primary passion, she main-
tains a well-rounded ex-
istence at home with her two
Bonnie in an artsy pose.
older brothers, Brett and
Bradley, her mother, and
father, Dr. Robert Dock. She
just joined the cheerleading
squad at North Farmington
High School where she's
entering ninth grade. During
the High Holidays, she'll be a
Torah reader at Adat Shalom
Synagogue.
Becoming one of ballet's
singular sensations is a
possibility, Bonnie says. But
she also has a Plan B — as in
Bonnie's Ballet Academy.
Other cities, she notes, like
Miami, Pittsburgh and San
Francisco, have dance
company-affiliated schools
with extensive staffs and
specialized classes for various
disciplines.
"I'd like to start a major
school of ballet in Michigan,"
says Bonnie-Elizabeth Dock,
a ballerina whose visions also
dance. ❑
