Articles: History changing at City Ballet

Following the retirement of Peter Martins, NYT published this article. I found it to be an interesting read. https://nytimes.com/2018/01/02/arts/dance/peter-martins-city-ballet-balanchine.amp.html

Thank you for posting, learningdance.  With all the political news lately, it can be difficult to keep up with dance news, as well, so I appreciated the ability to click and read. 

I -- personally -- love the idea of NYCB being directed by a woman of Wendy Wheelan's stature and experience, if that would also be a good decision for the company.

I'm resurrecting this as I read that the official job posting was published just a few days ago. It will be interesting and exciting to follow the new direction!

I like the idea of separating the choreography from the leadership.
