Binky's ballet protégé
Jefferson Payne (shown), a 14-year-old student at the Boston Ballet School, credits WGBH's Arthur for his lifelong interest in ballet.
"When I was 3 years old, I loved the kids TV show Arthur!" writes Payne. "There was this specific Arthur show one day called Binky at Ballet. I remember watching Binky dance onstage in a pink tutu, pink tights, and pink ballet slippers. Watching him doing all these flips, turns, and jumps was really cool. I even thought it was really cool when he danced on his toes. I begged my mom for weeks and weeks to start ballet, hoping to do those turns and jumps.
"The following year, I stepped into my first class at Boston Ballet School, which was just around the corner from my home in the South End. I fell in love with ballet immediately and have never stopped."
