rg Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Dance lover, and inveterate collector of dance literature, Leslie Getz, originally from California and lately from New York City, where she was married to dance critic Don McDonagh, died today after a recently diagnosed illness. She will be cremated. No further details are now available. Link to comment
dirac Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 So sorry to hear this. My condolences to her family and friends. Her invaluable "Dancers and Choreographers: A Selected Bibliography" is on my bookshelf. RIP. Link to comment
sandik Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 There are about a million books on my shelves that I heard about through her invaluable "Attitudes and Arabesques." Back before the internet made it so much easier to spread the news about a new publication, she did the hard work of gathering all that information, and then painstakingly transcribing it for us all. I got to know her a little bit, and spent some time looking through her personal collection, while she still lived in California -- it was like a sleepover at the Dance Collection. Link to comment
