#tbt: Peter Martins, Suzanne Farrell and Mr. B Make '70s Style Look Elegant

To celebrate our 90th anniversary, we excavated some of our favorite hidden gems

from the DM Archives—images that capture a few of the moments in time we’ve documented over the decades.

This image was captured during a 1978 New York City Ballet tour that took the company to Copenhagen—home turf for Adam Luders (right), who trained at the Royal Danish Ballet School and briefly danced with the company before joining NYCB as a principal dancer in 1975. Next to Luders is (of course) George Balanchine, in conversation with ballerina Suzanne Farrell. And looking on with a smile? NYCB’s current ballet master in chief Peter Martins.
