On the final day of this exhibition, join Kathleen Leary, Arnhold Dance Education Coordinator of the Jerome Robbins Dance Division of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts for a tour of the exhibition Border Crossings: Exile and American Modern Dance 1900-1955 to discover how the crossing of borders contributed to the creation of a new American art form.
