Article Abstract:

The variety of pieces from different companies and choreographers, and the unique cross-partnerships of dancers from different companies, ensured an American unity. Not one ballet critic or newspaper reporter who wrote about the gala failed to take note of the debt that American ballet owes to Russia -perhaps because the producers underlined the fact that the team consisted only of Americans.
