Lynn Garafola
Lynn Garafola (born 12 December 1946) is a dance historian, linguist, critic, curator, lecturer, and educator. A prominent researcher and writer with broad interests in the field of dance history, she is acknowledged as the leading expert on the Ballets Russes de Serge Diaghilev (1909-1929), the most influential company in twentieth-century theatrical dance.〔"Lynn Garafola, Professor of Dance," faculty profile, Barnard College website, http://dance.barnard.edu/profiles/lgarafol.

==Early life and education==
Born in New York City, Lynn Theresa Garafola spent her early years in the Upper Manhattan neighborhood of Washington Heights. Her parents were Louis Salvatore Garafola, a printer, and Rose Jean (Marchione) Garafola, whose surname is a Southern Italian corruption of ''garofalo'', meaning "carnation."〔Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges, "Garafalo," in ''A Dictionary of Surnames'' (Oxford University Press, 1989).〕 As a child Lynn studied ballet and violin with teachers from the Armenian diaspora, including Madame Seda Suny, a well-known dance teacher in the neighborhood, and spent leisure time in reading, knitting and stitchery, acting, and swimming. Madame Seda, who was always considered "Russian" by her students, introduced the young girl to the art form that would become one of the guiding passions of her life. After six years of elementary school, she entered the seventh grade of Hunter College High School, an elite, all-girls school with high academic standards and a strong arts program. There, her Latin teacher, Irving Kizner, sparked her facility in languages, which would become another lifelong interest. While in high school, she also studied modern dance with Alice Halpern and, in her senior year, took occasional classes in "jazz dance" with Alvin Ailey, which was really Horton technique accompanied by drumming.〔Lynn Garafola, responses to autobiographical questionnaire, 31 October 2015, digital submission for Claude Conyers dance history Wikipedia files, Charleston, South Carolina.〕
Upon graduation from high school in 1964, Garafola found her first summer job, as a salesgirl at Arnold Constable's flagship store in New York, the "Palace of Trade" on Broadway at West 19th Street. That autumn, she entered the freshman class of Barnard College, the prestigious women's college associated with Columbia University, on Morningside Heights in Manhattan. As a budding linguist and an amateur actress, she became attached to faculty members who were émigrés from the Spanish Civil War and who, to Garafola's delight, staged plays in Spanish, in which she often appeared. Besides Spanish, her major field, her course of study included classes in French and Italian as well as general academics. Throughout her college years, she continued to study dance and to take part in theatrical productions. She graduated from Barnard with a baccalaureate degree (A.B.) in 1968.〔Lynn Garafola, Professor of Dance, ''curriculum vitae'', dated 1 July 2015, in faculty files of Barnard College and Columbia University.

Having avoided the political upheaval and student riots at Columbia and Barnard in 1968, Garafola spent a year in Quito, Ecuador, teaching English and studying Spanish. Then, after another year in the American Midwest and some time in Mexico, she returned to New York, where she found employment in 1970 as a staff translator at the Berlitz Translation Service in midtown Manhattan. Deciding to pursue graduate studies, she entered the doctoral program in Spanish at the Graduate Center of City University of New York. She soon switched her field from Spanish to comparative literature, which she found more intellectually stimulating, and began regular attendance at dance performances in the city. She eventually earned a master's degree (M.Phil.) in 1979. More years of study followed, as her interest in dance history grew to become her primary focus. With a dissertation entitled "Art and Enterprise in Diaghilev's Ballets Russes," she earned a doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in 1985.〔"Garafola, Lynn," in ''International Who's Who of Authors and Writers'', 30th ed.
