Gender Neutral Exhibit at NMD Now Open – But Getting There is the Story!<\/em><\/strong> Though a zillion last minute details had them all scurrying here and there, we can report that the end results are spectacular and striking. And this crew certainly cleans up well… Great job everyone! Gender Neutral<\/em> explores the history of non-traditional gender roles in dance from the eighteenth century to the present day with the all-male travesty ballet troupe Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo as the centerpiece of the exhibition. More than forty costumes are on display from companies such as New York City Ballet, National Ballet of Canada, Mark Morris Dance Group, and Matthew Bourne\u2019s New Adventures, in addition to Les Ballets Trockadero. The exhibit is now open and will be on display for a year.<\/p>\n The National Museum of Dance, located at 99 South Broadway, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday from noon to 4 pm. Admission is free on Tuesdays.

\nSARATOGA SPRINGS – So, you go to the National Museum of Dance for one of their many events or exhibit openings, and you are used to having everything perfectly placed…
\nBut how does it happen?
\nHow do you get from this?
\n
\nAnd this?
\n
\nTo this?
\n
\nAnd this?
\n
\nWell, you do a lot of this…
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\nA lot. And so, we (photog Cathy Duffy and myself) thank the NMD crew – Emilee, Erik, Bill, Corina, Mike and Laura – for letting us barge in during the day before their Gender Neutral<\/em> exhibit’s opening night – Thursday, April 19, to record all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes – assuring that every detail is in place – just for you!
