In New York, Autumn is brought in with trendy designers and sleek models walking New York Fashion Week runways. But when the weather gets warmer and it’s finally time for Spring, it’s dancers and their galas that ring in the changing season and beautiful weather. First was Youth America Grand Prix’s 50th Anniversary Gala in April, followed in early May by New York City Ballet’s Spring Gala, and, finally, last night was American Ballet Theatre’s (ABT) Spring Gala. The trio of evenings all held at Lincoln Center.
