Show Notes

In this edition of Leonard Lopate, we explore what it’s like to dance for a master choreographer.

Bettijane Sills and Elizabeth McPherson are the authors of “Broadway, Balanchine, and Beyond: A Memoir,” a behind-the-scenes look at the New York City Ballet during George Balanchine’s 35-years as artistic director.

Dancing with Merce Cunningham” is Marianne Preger-Simon’s captivating memoir of her lifelong creative collaboration and friendship with one of the choreographic geniuses of our time.

Join us for a discussion of what it was like working with these two iconic choreographers of the 20th century.
