[edit] NYCB

This company predated New York City Ballet and does not hold enough relation to be a direct predecessor.--tufkaa 04:51, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for creating this page! I have added a seealso to NYCB on the grounds that:
    • American Ballet and Ballet Caravan were founded by City Ballet's selfsame founders, Balanchine and Kerstein;
    • they are included in the history of NYCB on their website [1];
    • and photos of their productions are displayed in the lobby of the New York State Theatre;
    • City Ballet in any case consider themselves to be their lineal descendants;
    • nor have I read any history of ballet that does not. Robert Greer (talk) 19:59, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
PS If you're going to be at Columbia on Sunday the 16th we can discuss this further. Robert Greer (talk) 19:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
