Joan Bayley worked in Hollywood musicals alongside Judy Garland, Bing Crosby and Marilyn Monroe before teaching ballet for nearly 50 years.
Bayley moved to New York to continue dancing with Maracci and later worked in nightclubs, performing flamenco solos for dinner guests. She returned to L.A. to pursue film work during World War II because “there was no touring, so companies disappeared.”
In the 1950s, Bayley began working with commercial choreographer Robert Alton — known for his discovery of Gene Kelly and his collaborations with Fred Astaire — and later became his assistant. She then worked as a choreographer herself, creating dances for television series. She said she wanted her birthday festivities to raise awareness for the Westside School of Ballet in Santa Monica, where she taught for more than 30 years — until last year.Relatives and friends celebrate a socially distanced birthday for Mar Vista resident Joan Bayley.and Royal Ballet soloist Rosemary Valaire in 1967, Westside is one of Southern California’s most prominent ballet schools.
