Robert Joffrey Summary and Bibliography
"Robert Joffrey." Joffrey Ballet. Web. 24 June 2015. . This biography provides minimal information on Robert Joffrey, the founder of Joffrey Ballet. It discusses his work by name. It references a successful dance career that he left behind. And it references his company's start. Anawalt, Sasha. The Joffrey Ballet: Robert Joffrey and the Making of an American Dance Company. New York: Scribner, 1996. Print. This book is a detailed account of Robert Joffrey's life. From discovering his love of dance, to becoming a promising dancer, to creating his own company. It also includes information on his personal life, teachers, family, and lover. "Robert Joffrey." Bio. A&E Television Networks, 2015. Web. 24 June 2015.This is a short bibliography, sparse on details but informative in few words. It references his debut and the date he opened his company. No personal information is provided. The current Wikipedia article on Robert Joffrey is short and lacking personal life or career details. I plan to add in information about his early life and personal life outside of dancing (specifically growing up and discovering he's homosexual). His teachers are also not referenced and, as the reasons that he was successful, should be specified. Arpino is mentioned as his co-founder and co-choreographer in the current article, but they make no reference to the relationship between Arpino and Joffrey. His works should also get more attention than the one or two sentences in the article as of late. He created many works in many styles and there is no real mention of his creations.
