He studied ballet with Ula Duganova, Eugene Loring, and Anthony Tudor; modern dance with the New Dance League; interpretive dance with Sonya Robbins; Spanish dance with Helene Viola; and Oriental dance with Nimura, and in 1940 he joined American Ballet Theatre as a dancer. ...
From 1944 to 1964 he became famous beyond the world of ballet, choreographing for such Broadway musicals as On The Town, Peter Pan, The King and I, West Side Story, and Fiddler on the Roof. ...
Leaving Broadway behind him, he returned to ballet after 1964. ... He returned briefly to Broadway in 1989 with an anthology of past hits entitled Jerome Robbins’ Broadway.
