Harriet Ross, Managing Director, The Gerald Arpino Foundation

For their entire career both Gerald Arpino and Robert Joffrey created ballets for The Joffrey Ballet.  These wonderful works were seldom offered to other dance companies.  There were exceptions even in their early days.  Some of the archival photos below are among those exceptions.  I have included a few photos of the companies that have recently presented their ballets.
