Ballet heroes: past and present.

Some may call them founders, or leaders.

But I call them heroes that have made a way for the next generation to shine.


The Father of American ballet:

George Balanchine was born on January 22, 1904, he was one of the 20th century's best choreographers.
Along with Kiristien and Jerome Robbins, he co-founded the New York city ballet.
After years of illness, Balanchine died on April 30, 1983, he was 79 years old.

The Founder of Modern Dance:

Martha Graham was born on May 11, 1894.
In 1926 the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance was established.
She was an excellent choreographer using unusual costumes and movements to complete her choreography.
She was sometimes named the "Picasso of Dance".
She died April 1, 1991, at the age of 96.

Defying the Odds:

Born September 10, 1982 Misty Copeland is the third African-American soloist.
She is considered a prodigy, and despite family conflicts, injury's, and disorders she rose to stardom.
She has pushed through all hurdles and is rising to the top.
She is now living in New York city.

Inspiring Stars:

Kathryn Morgan, a former New York city ballet soloist has been brought down by an illness.
Now that she is recovering she is using the media to rise back up to the top.
Inspiring and helping young dancers as she goes.
