The 2018 Pacific Northwest Ballet premiere of Jerome Robbins’ Other Dances is generously underwritten by Marcella McCaffray.
Other Dances was created especially for a gala benefit for the Library of the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. The program notes for that occasion read:
“The title of this series of dances reflects their relationship to Jerome Robbins’ Dances at a Gathering. There was so much of Chopin’s music that Mr. Robbin’s wishes to choreograph that he used this opportunity to devise for Miss [Natalia] Makarova and Mr. [Mikhail] Baryshnikov these Other Dances—a waltz and four mazurkas.”
