"In honor of our dear friend and colleague, the title of Jennifer Alexander Dancer will be bestowed annually upon one member of the corps de ballet who best represents the professionalism, perseverance and generosity that Jennifer herself embodied," said ABT Artistic Director Kevin McKenzie. "We are proud to recognize Marian Butler as the inaugural recipient."
