Overall: @Corachow: Good article, but the hooks honestly aren't that interesting to me. Could better hooks be proposed? Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:34, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onegreatjoke: Thanks for the review. I did find this article has less "interesting" things about it, hence "open to other hook suggestions." Here's other hooks I've come up with.

ALT2: ... that Jerome Robbins choreographed In G Major for New York City Ballet's Ravel Festival, in celebration of the composer's centenary? [3][4]
ALT3: ... that In G Major marked the first time Suzanne Farrell danced in a Jerome Robbins ballet since her first year at the New York City Ballet? [5]
ALT4: ... that Jerome Robbins' ballet In G Major features costume and scenery by the artist Erté that suggest a French Riviera setting? [6]

For ALT2, I had a similar hook before, but I just found it was in 2021 so it should be fine. I'm worry ALT3 might be too niche (mentioning Farrell as a trumpet could make it more interesting but also take the attention away from this ballet). ALT4 is basically ALT1 with the artist's name mentioned. I also thought about Robbins choreographing the pas de deux on another pair, but I think that's too boring, and more about Robbins' process in general than this specific ballet.
