Starting with the first class in eu- rhythmics offered in 1914, and throughout its remarkable life span, the Preparatory Dance Department has pio- neered new dance forms, mounted numerous collabora- tive projects, partnered with prominent figures in 20th and 21st century American dance, and produced accomplished professional dancers, choreographers, directors, and teachers. Barbara Weisberger, visionary leader and founder of Penn- sylvania Ballet, served as Artistic Adviser for the Preparatory Dance Department from 2001-2018. Working closely with late Director Carol Bartlett (Chair 1988-2012), Weisberger reinvigorated the ballet curriculum and expanded prepara- tory dance’s programing. Now Under the leadership of Melissa Stafford, Chair since 2012, Preparatory Dance is keeping in step with the progression of American dance into the 21st century and remains committed to: offering high-quality dance training for stu- dents of all levels age 3 to adult; presenting imaginative professional-level perfor- mances; offering Pre-Professional Ballet and Contemporary dance summer inten- sives; partnering with our community through master classes, seminars, work- shops, and other dance events – most offered free of charge; and training and supporting male dancers through the ground-breaking Estelle Dennis/Peabody Dance Training Program for Boys.

    NEWS FROM THE JEROME ROBBINS FOUNDATION VOL. 7, NO. 1 (2020) 75th Anniversary Gala of New York Public Library for the Performing Arts’ Jerome Robbins Dance Division On Wednesday, December 4, 2019, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts celebrated the Jerome Robbins Dance Division’s 75th anniversary with a unique gala that raised more than $723,000 in critical funds that will help the division document, collect, and preserve the history of dance and provide free services and programs for all. More than 200 dance-loving attendees moved through the Library for the Performing Arts in Lincoln Center viewing site-specific movement pieces cre- ated specifically for the occasion by Ephrat Asherie, The Bang Group, Jean Butler, Adrian Danchig-Waring, Heidi Latsky, Michelle Manzanales, Rajika Puri, and Pam Tanowitz. Staged in unexpected spaces (among the stacks, on reading room tables, through hallways, and on stairways), these brief performances fea- tured dancers including Chelsea Ainsworth, Chris Bloom, Jason Collins, Shelby Colona, Lindsey Jones, Jeffrey Kazin, Victor Lozano, Aishwarya Madhav, Georgina Pazcoguin, Nic Petry, Jaclyn Rea, Tommy Seibold, Amber Sloan, Gretchen Smith, Leslie Taub, Melissa Toogood, and Peter Trojic. The evening’s performances culminated in the Library’s Bruno Walter Auditorium with an excerpt from Jerome Robbins’ Other Dances, featuring American Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer Sarah Lane and New York City Ballet Principal Dancer Gonzalo Garcia. Jerome Robbins originally created the work in 1976 for a fundraiser to support the Library. The Jerome Robbins Dance Division’s 75th Anniversary Gala was chaired by Caroline Cronson & The Jerome Robbins Foundation.
