Famous Choreographer Jerome Robbins Honored at SPAC

The New York City Ballet is dedicating its three-week season (opening 7/8/08) at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, NY to its late associate artistic director and ballet master, Jerome Robbins. Well-known as a perfectionist, Robbins would urge his dancers to dance like Fred Astaire. When he was staging his ballet, "I'm Old Fashioned," he made his dancers watch Fred Astaire dance on film repeatedly.
