Anatomy of a Dance

Georgina Paczoguin and Andrew Veyette on WEST SIDE STORY SUITE

Georgina Pazcoguin, who plays Anita, and Andrew Veyette, who plays Riff, discuss how Jerome Robbins created a suite of dances from his hit Broadway show for New York City Ballet; why "West Side Story" still matters; and how ballet dancers handle the pressure of singing live to Leonard Bernstein's iconic score.
