For those of you who may be wondering how to help the dancers.
From the Dance Insider 12/23/05
"In other news, I'm elated to share that the Independent Artists of America, which represents the dancers and stage managers of American Ballet Theatre, has just sent the American Guild of Musical Artists, which represents the artists of Washington Ballet, a $3,000 check to support the Washington dancers, embroiled in a labor conflict with management which they did not choose, but which they have no choice but to pursue -- not just for their rights, but for the rights of dancers everywhere to a safe and secure work environment. If you'd like to emulate the ABT workers' fine example, IAA VP Lori Rosecrans Wekselblatt suggests you send your check, earmarked on the check "Washington Ballet Dancers," to:
Susan Davison
AGMA Relief Fund
1430 Broadway
14th Floor
New York, NY 10018-3308
You can also e-mail letters of support for the dancers to: AGMADC@comcast.com."
