The Left Banke - Pretty Ballerina

“Pretty Ballerina” by The Left Banke; released in 1967.

My Dad related a story to me about when he dated a ballerina while he was undergoing training in San Francisco in WWII. He bought her some earrings before being shipped out; the only time he bought a gift for any of his girlfriends (and he had a few!). He passed away in 2017, aged 96.

The dancer is so very beautiful, lithe and graceful. Anything less would not do justice to the song.
[Fine camera work too!]

I run into beautiful videos so rarely. This is the best from a song from my long ago.

Ballerina’s are tougher than most professional football players. It’s a beautiful and brutal art form. True story.

Bringing a beautiful song to life with a beautiful ballerina. It is one thing to have a great song and when you add a visual aspect to it, it just makes it more memorabvle. Nice job to the pretty ballerina.

This is a wonderful song I used to be a ballerina and a tap dancer I still have my ballet shoes and I still have my tap shoes and I'm 69 years old and I'm going to keep them forever❤❤❤

This song has been running through my mind lately. Excellent coordination of the song and the "Pretty Ballerina".

Beautiful! Glad she used her old pointe shoes on the pavement! Lovely song, lovely dance!

[ssVintageRock]

Awesome video! The synchronization / slo-mo of the dancer's movements with the music is spot on. 👍

You do so many GREAT videos to classic songs. From Mungo Jerry to the Left Banke, you visually nail the feel of the song…

I didn't hear this in HS. Walk Away Renee was played on the radio often. Excellent song!

[davidnichol]

I think this was the B side of "walk away rene". I played it many times as a teen. great melody.
