I am researching the history of Ballet Society and the New York City Ballet during the 1950s (the “golden years”). I haven’t found any one book but several describing the period including:
I Remember Balanchine”, Editor, Francis Mason
Repertory in Review: 40 Years of The New York City Ballet. Nancy Reynolds
In Balanchine’s Company A Dancer’s Memoir. Barbara Fisher
The New York City Ballet. Arnold Haskell
Dance for a City. Lynn Garafola (Editor)
Following Balanchine. Robert Garis
Autobiographies by Maria Tallchief, Allegra Kent
3 Biographies of Jerome Robbins
Select issues of Ballet Review and Dance Research journal
Dance magazine and other periodicals during the 1950s
What am I missing? Am I doomed to spend the rest of my life in the Dance Archives in NY viewing programs and photographs _ not that I don’t enjoy this, I just do not live in New York, unfortunately…
Thank you in advance for any suggestions
