Jerome Robbins: A Life in Dance
Rebecca Keys
Watch a 1-hour exploration of the life and legacy of dance world legend Jerome Robbins.
Jerome Robbins, born in New Jersey to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents, declined to join the family business and instead pursued a life in the theater, where he went on to become a renowned dancer, choreographer, writer, producer, and director. His work in ballet, Broadway, and film on such projects such as West Side Story, Peter Pan, and Fiddler on the Roof leave a legacy of artistry for generations to come.
