In April, Brooklyn Ballet presented Revisionist History, an exuberant garden of dance to finally welcome springtime in New York. 

A magical weekend, and we are so grateful to our supporters, board members, dancers, collaborators, technical crew, staff, volunteers, and audience members for making these performances a success. 

And we thank New York City Ballet Principal Tyler Angle - who led a thoughtful and enlightening Q&A after Saturday evening's performance. 

Isadora Duncan is widely known as the “mother of modern dance”. She rejected the rigidity of ballet in favor of more expressive, natural movement, and her dancing became hugely popular in tours throughout Europe.
