Title: Panovs to make American debut.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: J-46164 PANOVS TO MAKE AMERICAN DEBUT PHILADELPHIA -- Ballet stars Valery and Galina Panov, who were allowed to leave the Soviet Union last June after a two-year struggle, will perform together for the first time ever in the Western Hemisphere on Dec. 10 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Their benefit performance for Soviet Jewry is being sponsored by the Spectrum, Philadelphia's 12,500-seat arena, and the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Philadelphia in cooperation with the National Conference on Soviet Jewry. The Panovs will be accompanied by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

He was imprisoned twice during 1972. Neither he nor his wife, who had been a solo dancer with the Kirov Ballet, were permitted to dance publicly in the Soviet Union for almost two years.
