Exciting Afternoon At The Ballet

The New York City ballet program that we enjoyed Sunday afternoon included Jerome Robbins' "Dances At A Gathering" set to the piano music of Chopin, as well as George Balanchine's entertaining "Union Jack" ballet, from 1976. The afternoon was part in tribute to a retiring ballerina, Jenifer Ringer, and these quite showy retirements are always special and touching. Ms. Ringer was clearly a favorite among her company colleagues as well as the audience.
