During my last week at the Library of Congress, we presented an exhibit of recent acquisitions to the dance collections. It was really great to show and explain the materials to a wider audience. I have included a few photos of it below:

Awesome! Congrats on the exhibition. Good luck on your next endeavor
What a great collection. My wife’s grandmother was a student of Ernest Belcher’s in the mid 1920′s. She was one of the ballet company that performed in Universal Pictures The Phantom Of The Opera, 1925. Her signature can be seen on the bullhorn is part of the exhibit.
