In 1974, San Francisco Ballet, the oldest ballet company in America, faced the dire possibility of going bankrupt and disappearing. This is a common dilemma in our country faced by many performing arts organizations. The dancers said "no", went door to door, put on demonstrations, got the media involved, and saved the ballet company for future generations of dancers and audiences. This is a tale of despair, hope and perseverance in the arts community. With the assistance of the artistic directors and a strong general manager, five dancers that I call Angels created a movement to Save Our Ballet in San Francisco. I hope you enjoy the chapters, for without a combined effort, there might not be a San Francisco Ballet as we know and love it today.
