Janice Groman was a NYC-based ballet dancer.  She had been born in New
Britain,CT around 1937. She had worked with NY City Ballet under
George Ballenchine in the 50's, was a soloist with American Ballet
Theater(ABT)in the 60's, and co-founded 1st Chamber dance Quartet with
Charles Bennet in 1969.  She later had her own ballet studio to teach
ballet.  I'm seeking her date & yr. of birth.

Clarification of Question by bluestreak-ga on 01 Jul 2003 06:23 PDT

politicalguru,

It's a pleasure to work with you again!  I also hope we hear from
them.  Let me know, old freind.  Keep up your good work.

Nice to see you posting questions again, Bluestreak :)

Researchers: Groman died on 2 Sept. 1988 according to her obituary in
the New York Times, which also put her age at 51.

"Janice Groman, 51, Dancer Who Began A Chamber Troupe," by Anna
Kisselgoff. New York Times, 09/07/1988, D26.

I've tried searching the Death Index and Family search to no avail.

luciaphile,

Hi! How are you?  It's been a while!  Thanks so much for looking at
one of mine?  I don't know how I missed not putting her death date in
there, which I had gotten from Dance Magazine, but I obviously did. 
It's so nice to hear your keyboard again!  I only wish I had more
questions for you.  bluestreak

July 2, 1937.  Dance Magazine also did an article on her in 1971.

Dear janicegroman,

How phenomenally coincidental!!!  Your name is the same as the subject
of the question!!  Hard to fathom.  Hmmm.  Could it be that your true
identity is luciaphile?!  I wouldn't be surprised.  Either way, if you
would be so kind as to post your information in the form of an answer,
I can rate and tip you.

I am so delighted that someone is still looking over my questions!!! 
I'm so thrilled!  Did the obituary give Janice's place of death?  I'd
think it might be NYC.  Could you let me know if that info was given? 
Also,  where did you find her DOB?  I'd love to know.  Was it in the
1971 interview in Dance Magazine?

Bluestreak--I'm not the one who found your answer. I only use luciaphile-ga. 

Regards,

Friends,

We have an in-house mystery!  It's called, "Who is janicegroman?"  If
anyone knows who this is,  please have them, submit their information
as an answer.  It's so cool to have a genuine bona-fide Google-answers
mystery!!  Love it.  Just love it.

I'm a "Groman" and was with her a month before she died in NYC.

We used to visit her in NYC.  My daughters are now studying ballet.
