- Jerome Robbins, assisted by ballet master Jean Pierre Frohlich, directs a dress rehearsal of West Side story suite. The rehearsal consists of a complete run-through, with many interruptions and repetitions. Robbins gives corrections relating to the music and staging. At 16 min. into the second disc, there is a fifteen-minute break, during which Robbins works on stage with dancers. At other times Robbins speaks from off-camera. On the third disc, after the run-through, there is a brief rehearsal of a section from Robbins's ballet The four seasons: Christopher Wheeldon, James Fayette, Russell Kaiser and Alexander Ritter rehearse the male quartet from the Spring section. Nikolaj Hübbe rehearses the vocal for Cool, and guest singers rehearse the vocals for Somewhere.
