... is reputed to be the English translation of an ancient Chinese proverb and curse; it is reported that it was the first of three curses of increasing severity:
- May you live in interesting times.
- May you come to the attention of those in authority, sometimes rendered May the government be aware of you or May you come to the attention of powerful people.
- May you find what you are looking for, sometimes quoted as May your wishes be granted.
(b. 1939, Lordsburg, N.M.; d. August 19, 2009, Indianapolis) was a baton-twirling champion and proprietor of the Ballet Shop near Lincoln Center in New York. He also owned a gallery-bookshop on Madison Avenue where in 1977 he held an acclaimed exhibition on prima ballerina Anna Pavlova.
In 1957 Crider performed with batons in an ice show at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago, at which time he began to study ballet. Two years later he developed a nightclub act combing ballet and baton-twirling which he took to Europe. He taught twirling to French and Italian schoolchildren for the next eight years and was awarded the Order of Cultural Merit and Philanthropy by the French government.
Besides the Ballet Shop, Crider founded the Antiques Center of America, on the East Side of Manhattan, and owned shops in the Trump Tower and La Boutique Fantasque at Rockefeller Center. After the Ballet Shop closed in 1996, he worked as a manager for Ballet International.
misc.
[edit]part i
[edit]Once upon a time, there were scrapbooks and black-and-white photographs and majorettes and batons and twirling contests.
And once upon a time, in a small town in New Mexico, there was Norman Crider.
For many in Socorro who remember Crider — and you might be surprised by how many there are, given that Norman lived here more than 50 years ago — recall an exuberant young man who inspired small-town girls to learn twirling, and to dream large, as reflected by his own life.
Norman Crider — son of the late Opal and Andy Crider; the former a civil servant and collector and the latter a career schoolteacher — died in Indianapolis, Ind., on Aug. 19, 10 days shy of his 71st birthday.
It was his mother who kept the enormous scrapbook chronicling the career of a man destined for life outside the borders of a small town.
And while it was the ballet that captivated young Norman, with no school or teacher near, he took up baton twirling.
His brother, Terry, recalls the day Norman saw a baton in store window in Santa Fe.
"Norman talked of nothing but that baton, he had to have that baton," Terry said.
Eventually, Norman earned enough money doing odd jobs around the house to buy it.
At age 12, he was fortunate to meet a man named John Large, a drum major at the University of New Mexico; and he convinced his parents to drive him to the UNM campus for twirling lessons with Large.
"The chemistry between the two of them was perfect, and John Large became Norman's mentor," said Terry.
Norman was 15 when the Crider family moved to Socorro for Opal's job with Farmers Home Administration, where she spent 23 years. Andy, unable to get on with the local public schools, found a job in Carrizozo.
By this time, Norman felt confident to teach twirling himself. Opal served the role of press agent, drawing up flyers and distributing them all over town. She also found merchants willing to dole out money for trophies.
Norman's premier venture was a twirling jamboree on the New Mexico Tech campus, and within weeks, he had a long list of students.
"For a sleepy, little town, it was amazing how many girls wanted to be twirlers," said Terry. "It took someone like Norman to energize the community and bring them out."
Opal included in her scrapbook competition score sheets from her son's competitions — he was the New Mexico State Twirling Champion in 1953 and 1954 — among countless newspaper clippings and photographs.
Many of the photographs are of young women with names such as Sheila, Carolyn, Ann Nita ("real gone," was how she signed her photo in 1954) and Lucy, Frances, Linda and Sherry Lou. The most common inscription on the photos is "twirling yours."
The girls are dressed in what is considered quite chaste by contemporary standards — lots of satin and bloomer-type creations, fringe and boots — always the boots.
Norman was particularly proud of his young protégé, one Anna Marie Porter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dave C. Porter, then of Socorro.
In photos from this period, Norman resembled a cross between Elvis Costello and Buddy Holly, with his dark eyes and dark hair carved into a widow's peak, wearing a band shirt nearly obliterated by all the medals.
In all, Norman earned 41 national championships, 43 trophies and 52 medals, including being named King of the National Championships in Chicago, in 1955. Norman was 17 years old.
Norman had graduated from high school the year before, and followed his brother to what is now New Mexico State University where he was drum major.
The decade of the 1950s had not yet closed when Norman began to manifest the managerial skills that would serve him for the rest of his professional career.
To paraphrase his brother, Terry, if Norman could teach young ladies to twirl batons, he could surely manage a herd of antique dealers — and, of course, in time he did.
The year he was 18, Norman moved to Chicago to find gigs in certain show business venues, supplementing that income with work as a file clerk for a shipping business.
Norman got his big break, in June 1957, with a performance in the Boulevard Room of the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago complete with flags and flaming batons — all while ice-skating!
To appeal to a broader audience, Norman formed, along with two young women, the Norman Crider Trio — which served him well until he met an impresario, a specialized agent, who arranged bookings for Norman in various countries.
Norman boarded the Queen Mary on July 12, 1961, bound for the great continent — and returned eight years later.

[edit]Among ballet and theater artists, and aficionados, the name of Norman Crider will ever be associated with "The Ballet Shop" at Lincoln Center, which operated for 22 years and became a New York City landmark.
Others, including longtime partner and business associate Tobias Leibovitz, also knew him as the founder and president of "The Antiques Center of America" — the first such enterprise in this country, housing 105 dealers under one roof, as one of the original merchants at Trump Tower. He was also known as the proprietor of "La Boutique Fantasque" on the Promenade at Rockefeller Center – described in New York magazine as "New York's most beautiful shop."
Still others, including many in Socorro, remember his early career as an international stage performer.
His act, melding flag work and fire batons with virtuoso skill, grace of movement and innate charisma, drew the attention of European impresarios and inaugurated eight expatriate years of performing on stages in some 24 countries, including major venues in Japan and Lebanon, the Olympia in Paris, the casino de Charbonnieres near Lyons, and the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen.
Concurrently, Crider pursued his future antiques-world career, forging connections with art and antiques dealers everywhere he traveled, while simultaneously developing his own collection of rare and historical pieces that he faithfully shipped to the United States.
In 1969, an engagement in Bergamo, Italy required him to participate in the Rastelli International Juggling Competition.
The proceedings began with juggling balls – at which, among top professional jugglers, as Crider would laughingly tell it, he was embarrassingly unskilled, dropping and chasing the round objects while Italian television cameras rolled – and ended with his stunning baton work, capturing the juggling championship.
Shortly thereafter, the French government awarded him the Order of Cultural Merit and Philanthropy for his contributions to baton twirling in that country. That same year, he announced his retirement from show business, boarded an Air France flight to New York, and embarked upon his long-envisioned career.
Beginning modestly as a dealer from his small Manhattan apartment, Crider formulated large plans to create a centralized arcade of multiple dealers such as he had seen in Europe.
Crider had the financial backing of Edward Moseler, heir to the Moseler Safe fortune and frequent underwriter of training expenses for ice skaters. In 1970, Crider opened The Antiques Center of America on 53rd St. between First Avenue and Sutton Place, where it continued for eight years until the building was sold.
In 1974, inspired by his love for and expertise in 19th century ballet, he opened The Ballet Shop to instant and enduring success. Soon he began working extensively with Sotheby's and Christie's. For a few years, he extended the Lincoln Center enterprise to an art gallery on Madison Avenue. This was followed, in 1983, by an exquisite boutique at Trump Tower. Here, over 13 years, as Connoisseur magazine noted, he "created a market where there was none" in vintage designer costume jewelry.
Crider's and Leibovitz's connections with Russian dancers, and then to post-Perestroika immigrants arriving with treasures to sell, generated a second Trump shop, featuring a variety of folk, religious and period Russian art. This was augmented, in 1991, by its "old Russia" counterpart, La Boutique Fantasque at Rockefeller Center.
Several years later, Leibovitz's work with the Indiana Ballet drew them to Indianapolis, and to what Crider felt was a great privilege: Overseeing liquidation of the extraordinary collection of ballet art and memorabilia comprising the estate of former Ballets Russes luminary George Verdak.
Continuing as a fine arts and antiques dealer to the last, in 2007, Crider traveled one more time to his beloved Paris to buy and sell, and to fondly reconnect with his European network.
In addition to his family and partner, Crider is survived by a worldwide contingent of loving friends.

Real Ballet de España
El bailarín Ángel Corella sueña con que los reyes acepten algún día la denominación de Real Ballet de España para su futura compañía de danza clásica, que comenzará sus ensayos el 2 de enero, ofrecerá su primer espectáculo el 4 de septiembre en Madrid y proyecta radicarse en Castilla y León como grupo residente.
"Es mi sueño, pero los reyes suelen tomarse su tiempo ya que, como es lógico, no pueden prestar su nombre para algo que no se sabe cuánto tiempo va a durar", ha afirmado Corella en Valladolid durante una rueda de prensa antes de desvelar el aliento ya manifestado por parte de la reina Sofía y de la infanta Elena, que será la madrina.
Entre 70 y 80 bailarines configurarán una compañía que de momento se ha registrado con el nombre de Ballet de España "Ángel Corella" e iniciará sus ensayos a partir de enero en un espacio de 500 metros cuadrados cedido por el Parador de La Granja (Segovia), mientras fructifican las gestiones con la Junta de Castilla y León para radicarse como grupo residente en ese municipio segoviano.
Sería en el Palacio de Santa Cecilia del Real Sitio de La Granja, actualmente en proceso de restauración, "pero como aún no hay nada definitivamente cerrado no me gusta dar noticias que luego pueden no serlo", ha advertido el bailarín madrileño antes de recordar que su grupo será el primero de danza clásica en España después de 18 años.
Corella, recién aterrizado de Moscú y en vísperas de un viaje a Japón, ha recalado en el Gran Teatro Calderón de la Barca de Valladolid, donde presentará entre hoy y el próximo domingo su espectáculo "En corsario", con una veintena de bailarines que formarán parte de su gran proyecto.
El Instituto Nacional de las Artes Escénicas y Musicales (INAEM) del Ministerio de Cultura "también nos dará una buena cantidad" para una iniciativa "que es muy necesaria para España", ya que la danza "es una de las artes más importantes y desde hace 18 años no existe una compañía nacional de danza clásica", ha dicho.
Las premisas de su proyecto se basan en un mínimo de danzantes que oscilará entre 70 y 80, que siempre se baile con orquesta y que tenga carácter internacional con la calidad necesaria para subirse a los principales escenarios del mundo.
