AMERICAN MASTERS: "JOFFREY: MAVERICKS OF AMERICAN DANCE"
PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET
Credited as basically the first truly American dance company, the Joffrey Ballet is saluted in tonight’s new American Masters program. Bob Hercules directs the documentary, Mandy Patinkin narrates it, and vintage interviews with founders Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino are included – along with, of course, enough performance clips to make you want to belly up to the barre.
